Product Description

Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is appropriate for introductory physical geology classes. This text, which includes the same information as the market-leading Physical Geology - 12th edition, by Plummer/Carlson, is for the instructor who prefers to cover plate tectonics early in the course.

The eighth edition has been updated to include the most current information from the various sub-disciplines that comprise physical geology. The book’s purpose is to clearly present geologic processes so that students can understand the logic of scientific methods. This text features an outstanding art program and a proven, accessible writing style.

This text continues to be used as the official textbook to accompany the Annenberg CPB distributed telecourse for physical geology.

A Wonderful Text5
I used this text for my Geology 101 class. The testing your knowledge and the terms for each chapter help even the geologically challenged understand the material. The text is beautifully illustrated and will be the first college text I won't sell immediately after the semester ends.

Very Good Textbook4
Physical Geology: Earth Revealed, by Diane Carlson, is a very informative and complete geology textbook. The book is full of excellent photos that really bring the subject matter to the forefront. One of the books true hi-lights are the various "Reading Boxes" included with each chapter. These reading boxes take more in-depth looks at the various topics in the books. The textbook is well-written and somewhat enjoyable. It is organized in a very easy to follow manner.

Physical Geology:Earth revealed4
I is an excellent textbook; however, I was under the understanding that I would be getting the 7th edition , not the 4th edition. I kept it anyway, since 95% of the information is still current. It also came with 2 excellent CD ROM's.
