Geology Today

This text is intended for an Introduction to Physical Geology course. It is non-quantitative in nature and is truly written for the audience of non-science students who take this course.

Geology Today: Understanding Our Planet addresses the topic of physical geology from a "whole earth" perspective to show students how geologic processes are inter-related. The text is divided into 5 parts; each of the three middle parts highlights a cycle (plate tectonics, the rock cycle, hydrologic cycle) and places it into context of the beginning and ending parts.

• Plate tectonics are covered early in the book, starting with processes then moving to applications. Students are given the tools for understanding plate tectonics before they learn to apply it.
• Contains a unique chapter on the Biosphere.
• Each book comes with a free copy of the GeoSciences in Action CD.
• Chapter 11 provides a unique recap of the Rock Cycle and plate tectonics together.
• Each part is separated by "The Art of Geology" which provides a literary, historical or artistic reference to geology. This feature addresses the liberal arts student taking physical geology to fulfill a requirement.
