DescriptionThe Changing Earth: Exploring Geology and Evolution, 7th Edition (c2015), textbook by James S. Monroe & Reed Wicander. TEXTBOOK INFO: http://www.cengage.com/searc...Isbn13&Ntt=9781285733418 (ISBN-13: 9781285733418) OVERVIEW: «THE CHANGING EARTH: EXPLORING GEOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, Seventh Edition, is written specifically for courses covering both physical and historical geology. Three interrelated themes (plate tectonics, organic evolution, and geologic time) help students understand that Earth is a complex, integrated, and continually changing system. In the new edition authors James S. Monroe and Reed Wicander integrate content emphasizing the economic impacts of geology. Topics such as fracking, nuclear waste, and the threat of earthquakes are covered in new Geo-Impact boxes that stress real-world applications. Lauded for their clear writing style, the authors go beyond simply explaining geology and its processes; rather, they place that knowledge within the context of human experience by consistently emphasizing relevance, resources, and the environment. New Global Geoscience Watch activities help students learn how to use an extensive database of articles on geology that are updated several times a day and are available exclusively for users of this book.» BRIEF CONTENTS: 1 Understanding Earth: A Dynamic and Evolving Planet 2 Plate Tectonics: A Unifying Theory 3 Minerals - The Building Blocks of Rocks 4 Igneous Rocks and Plutons 5 Volcanoes and Volcanism 6 Weathering, Erosion, and Soil 7 Sediment and Sedimentary Rocks 8 Metamorphism and Metamorphic Rocks 9 Earthquakes and Earth’s Interior 10 Deformation, Mountain Building, and Earth’s Crust 11 Mass Wasting 12 Running Water - Streams and Rivers 13 Groundwater 14 Glaciers and Glaciation 15 The Work of Wind and Deserts 16 Oceans, Shorelines, and Shoreline Processes 17 Geologic Time: Concepts and Principles 18 Organic Evolution - The Theory and Its Supporting Evidence 19 Precambrian Earth and Life History 20 Paleozoic Earth History 21 Paleozoic Life History 22 Mesozoic Earth and Life History 23 Cenozoic Earth and Life History 24 Geology in Perspective APPENDICES: A: English-Metric Conversion Chart B: Topographic Maps C: Mineral Identification Glossary Index FILE INFO: paginated, bookmarked, quasi-true PDF.
