This introductory, one-semester, non-majors laboratory manual is suitable for an environmental geology course or a physical geology course with a strong environmental emphasis. 24 free-standing labs provide a short background about concepts and principles, and contain a mix of hands-on and thought questions dealing with the social, ethical and political issues relevant to environmental concerns. Other features include: tear-out exercises for marking purposes; end-of-chapter exercises, ranging in difficulty; and photographs which enhance rock and mineral exercises and topographic/geologic mapping exercises.
