Essentials of Geology

Description

Concisely written, Essentials of Geology, 2/e, extracts the most important concepts from Geology, 2/e, focusing more directly on the basics. The text is unified by the major themes of plate tectonics, environmental geology and natural resources, and planetary geology which are introduced in Chapter 1 and discussed in context throughout. Nearly every chapter contains at least one Highlight, an in-depth discussion of popular interest topics that provide a broader view of the relevance of geology. Every chapter has been updated to include fascinating developments and significant discoveries of the last three years. Extensive multimedia support includes access to the award-winning web site, www.geologylink.com, which includes hot topics, Geology in the News, key concepts, self-assessment quizzes, the Earth Today, a glossary, and a complete online version of The Peterson Guide to Rocks and Minerals. Students can take virtual field trips links to geologic surveys around the world, or join discussions with other students and instructors in the virtual classroom.
