Visualizing Geology combines Wiley’s expertise in creating top quality textbooks with rich visual resources such as photographs, maps, illustrations, diagrammatic art, and videos from our National Geographic partners, with the content and teaching expertise of our authors. Visualizing Geology invites us to travel outside our familiar environment to distant parts of the world.
A substantial revision of an already successful text, the Third Edition of Essentials of Geology combines an accurate and engaging narrative with exceptional visual and pedagogical elements.
Visualizing Earth Science relies heavily on the integrating of National Geographic and other rich visuals to expand on concepts for students and solidify their understanding of them. This accessible format, coupled with the assumption that students have little knowledge of earth science, allows students to navigate through the material with greater ease – the goal being to help them understand the world around them and interpret what they see in a meaningful, accurate and exciting way.
The fifth edition has been updates include the replacement of all 23 air-photo stereograms with Google Earth images. Within this manual, questions are highlighted and embedded within the text, creating a dialog format and an inquiry-based learning environment.
An exciting revision of this innovative text, Earth: Portrait of a Planet, Third Edition, emphasizes active student learning with a new chapter format, interactive media, and the power and insight of Google Earth
Ristinen and Kraushaar's Energy and the Environment 2e is suitable for an introductory course dealing with the societal challenges of the availability and cost of energy and the effects of energy use on our environment.

The image of Earth on the front cover was acquired from the GOES-8 Imager by the Laboratory for Atmosphere at NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. It was taken on September 2, 1994, using two channels for the Imager to produce a "natural color" effect.
