Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology 11th Edition, by Edward J. Tarbuck, Frederick K. Lutgens and Dennis G Tasa offers its strong focus on readability and engaging, instructive illustrations, interactive “SmartFigures,” and a highly anticipated learning path that facilitates active learning.
This book maintains its highly visual, non-technical survey and up-to-date coverage of foundational physical geology principles. The authors’ emphasis on currency and relevance includes the latest thinking in the field, particularly in the dynamic area of plate tectonics. Boldmagazine-like design supporting the learning path is visually appealing and provides an effective showcase for the program’s highly respected artwork by Dennis Tasa.
Smaller, more manageable content modules in each chapter make key concepts more accessible than ever. SmartFigures are videos that digitally walk students through key chapter illustrations and are accessed in the printed text via scannable QR codes. Students can also access SmartFigures from the Study Area in MasteringGeology.
Geographics are contemporary, compelling visual representations that present complex information at a glance, simplifying students’ ability to synthesize and recall information. Eye on the Earth feature engages students with active learning tasks, asking them to perform critical thinking and visual analysis tasks to analyze data and make predictions.
Art that teaches and motivates includes high-quality photographs and line art that were carefully selected to aid understanding, add realism, and heighten student interest. The art program is the work of Dennis Tasa, a gifted artist and respected geological illustrator. Strong Readability is achieved through the book's straightforward language, written to be understood. Clear, readable discussions with a minimum of technical language are the rule.
Focus on Basic Principles is stronger than ever with the Eleventh Edition, fostering student understanding of basic principles while also addressing topical issues. Flexibility is achieved through the text's adaptable organization meeting the needs and desires of the instructor. Realizing the broad diversity of introductory courses in both content and approach, we have designed each chapter to be as self-contained as possible so that material may be taught in a different sequence according the preference of the instructor.
