This brief, paperback version of the best-selling Earth Science by Lutgens and Tarbuck is designed for introductory courses in Earth science. The text's highly visual, non-technical survey emphasizes broad, up-to-date coverage of basic topics and principles in geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. A flexible design lends itself to the diversity of Earth science courses in both content and approach. As in previous editions, the main focus is to foster student understanding of basic Earth science principles. Used by over 1.5 million science students, the Mastering platform is the most effective and widely used online tutorial, homework, and assessment system for the sciences. This is the product access code card for MasteringX and does not include the actual bound book. Package contains: MasteringGeology standalone access card
For introductory courses in earth science. Use dynamic media to bring Earth Science to life Earth Science answers the need for a straightforward text that excites readers about the world around them. Perfect for individuals with little-to-no background in science, the text covers geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy clearly and without technical jargon. Tarbuck, Lutgens, and Tasa are praised for their uncomplicated writing, dynamic media that help visualize physical processes, stunning art program that brings the "wow" factor, and valuable activities in Mastering Geology that provide activity-based learning to solidify readers' understanding. The 15th Edition incorporates the la...
In order to understand how Earth's atmosphere and weather phenomena affect our daily lives--and how we, in turn, impact the atmosphere--it is important to develop an understanding of basic meteorological principles. The Atmosphere remains the standard introduction to meteorology, reinforcing basic concepts with everyday easy-to-grasp examples; a largely non-technical narrative; timely coverage of recent atmospheric events; and carefully crafted illustrations. With new active learning tools to help guide and engage students, the 12th edition now also features a greater focus on increasingly important severe and hazardous weather applications, new critical visual analysis and observations tools, discussions of real-world career opportunities in meteorology, the latest data and fascinating true case studies. -Back cover.
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.
This Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology is a richly illustrated, user friendly laboratory manual for teaching introductory geology and geoscience
Ideal for undergraduates with little or no science background, Earth Science is a student-friendly overview of our physical environment that offers balanced, up-to-date coverage of geology, oceanography, astronomy, and meteorology. The authors focus on readability, with clear, example-driven explanations of concepts and events. The Thirteenth Edition incorporates a new active learning approach and a fully updated visual program. This edition features the exact same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version.
