Author 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 text is also used as the official Annenberg CPB distributed telecourse for physical geology. The popular 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.
