Description

Take a unique look at today's Earth as you examine its natural processes, complex systems and the reciprocal relationship between people and Earth’s natural environment. Written by three of today's most respected geographers, Petersen/Sack/Gabler’s PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, 12E introduces geography from three perspectives: as a physical science, a spatial science and an environmental science. An intriguing, reader-friendly presentation demonstrates the processes and interactions among Earth’s systems and emphasizes environmental sustainability, highlighting how natural systems are affected by human activities and how natural processes impact human lives. Updated, compelling visuals illustrate concepts through vivid photos, helpful figures, information-rich maps and thought-provoking captions. This edition also explores dynamic areas of the Earth, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, and examines the latest digital, drone and laser technologies in use in geographical research.
