Klappentext zu „Understanding Earth “
More than any other introductory physical geology textbook, Understanding Earth is designed to bring the worldview of the working geologist to an audience not only new to this specific field, but in many cases to science in general. Students aren't merely presented with concepts and processes - they come to learn how we know what we know, and how that knowledge impacts their lives as citizens and consumers. This new edition of the well-established textbook features even stronger pedagogy and artwork to really help students start thinking like geologists in the field
