Description
This updated textbook is for both non-science majors and students contemplating a major in geology. It covers all areas of physical geography and geographical processes. David McConnell's "The Good Earth", a course placed solely on the Internet, along with a text-specific web site, has been integrated into the text. This visionary method of teaching will give students a more hands-on approach to learning geology.
