This laboratory manual has been fine-tuned to fulfill the needs of an introductory course for majors and non-majors. Reduced math and chemistry coverage and condensed lab exercises make the manual more manageable for your one-semester course, while offering a range of problems to match each student's abilities. Lab exercises focus on a broad range of environmental issues and include full-color photography to make identification problems easier. Author Harvey Blatt also covers the social issues relevant to environmental concerns and the effects of human intervention in geological processes.
