Download or read book The Good Earth Introduction to Earth Science written by David A McConnell and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Good Earth is the product of collaboration between the content rigor provided by Earth Science specialists (McConnell, Steer) and the results of research on learning. The Good Earth has been explicitly designed to be compatible with inquiry-based, active learning in the college classroom. The structural elements of this text will allow the instructor to incorporate these student-centered teaching methods into their Earth Science course. The authors have tested the book’s content and pedagogy in large Earth Science classes for non-majors that are populated with mostly freshmen. Their experiences show that the materials and methods in The Good Earth can improve students’ learning, increase daily attendance, reduce attrition, and increase students’ enthusiasm in comparison with classes taught following a traditional lecture format. The authors have chosen to emphasize three scientific themes throughout the text: i) scientific literacy; ii) Earth Science and the human experience; and, iii) the science of global change. The discussion of scientific methods is woven into the text throughout. They have included numerous examples of human interaction with the Earth that can serve as entry points for students to appreciate the nature of science. Global change is a theme that is evident in much current Earth Science research so our authors have used global change as a content theme throughout the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We see it every day, yet we understand so little about Earth. From minerals to meteorites, this book covers every aspect of the science of our world. It breaks this complex discipline into four major sections: geology, oceanography, meteorology, and planetary science, and it gives an overview of the processes of each. Complete with interactive experiments and a glossary, this book makes the study of our planet—and other planets— easier than ever.

Download or read book Introduction to Earth Science written by Austin Boyd and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Earth Science helps students learn about the physical processes of Earth, and, in some cases, how these processes can affect and influence lift. The book examines crystallization and sedimentation to reveal the earth's past, ocean and wind circulation to help students interpret and understand climate, plate tectonics to explain natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building, and more. The book begins by presenting students with information on the formation of Earth and an overview of the elements that make up the planet. In later chapters, students learn how to identify minerals and elements, how the science of plate tectonics has developed and changed over time, how magma forms, and how sedimentary rocks can help us understand how climates have evolved around the world. Additional chapters are devoted to exploring earthquakes, structural geology, geologic time, the ocean, and the atmosphere. The text closes with a chapter addressing the development of astronomy. Written to provide students with an accessible and complete primer on Earth's processes, Introduction to Earth Science is an ideal text for foundational courses in earth science and geoscience. Austin Boyd is a professor of physical science at Santa Fe College.
