Description
This text, which includes the same information as "Physical Geology", updated eighth edition, is for the professor who wants to use the same valuable information and engaging format but in a different teaching sequence. Coverage of plate tectonics is moved to the beginning. The "Journey Through Geology CD-ROM" by the Smithsonian Institution is now packaged with this book along with a website token to access David McConnell's "The Good Earth".
