Description For introductory courses in Earth Science in departments of Geology, Geography, Atmospheric Sciences, and Education. The twelfth edition of Earth Science offers a user-friendly overview of our physical environment with balanced, up-to-date coverage of geology, oceanography, astronomy, and meteorology for the undergraduate student with little background in science. The emphasis is on readability, with clear example-driven explanations. The twelfth edition takes full advantage of the subject’s visual appeal, with discussions reinforced by incredible color photos and superb illustrations by Earth science illustrator and geologist Dennis Tasa.
Writing style - The language of this book is straightforward and written to be understood. Clear, readable discussions with a minimum of technical language are the rule. Art - Dennis Tasa, a gifted artist and respected geologist and illustrator progresses his outstanding illustrations in this edition. Truly an extension of the written story of geology, Tasa’s illustrations now show greater color and shading contrasts, more “narration,” and additional photo comparisons to guide students more clearly than ever before. Dependability - Without question Tarbuck and Lutgens have an unblemished reputation as the most dependable textbooks for geology and Earth science.
Instructors can count on having a well-written, reliable book and thoroughly integrated and tested supplements. GEODe: Earth Science - Extensively updated for this edition, GEODe:Earth Science is now on DVD and provides narrated tutorials that integrate photography, animations and video for interactive reinforcement of key concepts. Created by Dennis Tasa, GEODe is an excellent resource for visual and active learning. Thematic approach –- Introduces 3 themes that recur throughout the text: “Earth as a System,” “People and the Environment,” and “Understanding Earth.' Xvii-xviii for overview) - Recurring themes both help organize and connect concepts which, to the introductory student, could seem disparate. Systems perspective - Concepts are presented in the context of Earth as a whole, consisting of many separate but interconnected parts in a way that introductory, non-science students can consume and manage.
