Description
"Physical Geology: Earth Revealed" is appropriate for introductory physical geology classes. This text, which includes the same information as the market-leading "Physical Geology - 11th edition", by Plummer/Carlson, is for the instructor who prefers to cover plate tectonics early in the course. The seventh edition has been updated to include the most current information from the various sub-disciplines that comprise physical geology. The book's purpose is to clearly present geologic processes so that students can understand the logic of scientific methods. This text features an outstanding art program and a proven, accessible writing style. This text continues to be used as the official textbook to accompany the Annenberg CPB distributed telecourse for physical geology.
