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.

The guide helps students prepare for lectures and exams, with a heavy emphasis on utlizing the book's Web resources.

Chapter-by-chapter help for studying and exam review, with lots of support for working with the book's media resources.

For use with Understanding Earth, 7th Edition, this excellent study guide reinforces the topics and key concepts covered in the text.
