Earth Science 13th Edition, by Edward J. Tarbuck, Frederick K. Lutgens and Dennis G Tasa provides 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, a fully updated visual program, and is available for the first time with MasteringGeology—the most complete, easy-to-use, engaging tutorial and assessment tool available, and also entirely new to the Earth science course. The language of this book is straightforward and written to be understood. Clear, readable discussions with a minimum of technical language are the rule.
Dennis Tasa, a gifted artist and respected geologist and illustrator progresses his outstanding illustrations in this edition. Truly an extension of the written story of geology, Tasa’s illustrations now show greater color and shading contrasts, more “narration,” and additional photo comparisons to guide students more clearly than ever before. Without question Tarbuck and Lutgens have an unblemished reputation as the most dependable textbooks for geology and Earth science. Instructors can count on having a well-written, reliable book and thoroughly integrated and tested supplements.
This edition presents a number of updates including new modules on atmospheric science and oceanography. For a more logical progression of topics and to make the book even more reader friendly, coverage of plate tectonics now precedes earthquakes and Earth’s interior. Chapter 20 is now titled “World Climates and Global Climate Change." The revision reflects the latest from the 2007 reports of IPCC as well as new material and graphics relating to climate change. The ever strong section on astronomy has been completely revised, updated, and substantially rewritten for the most up to date and readable treatment.
