Earth Science
The Earth, The Atmosphere, and Space
First Edition
11 July 2017
ENGAGING, APPLICABLE MATERIAL
Earth Science opens with the Big Bang and then introduces basic plate tectonics, so students immediately experience the "action" of the Earth as a system. Learning objectives are identified at the beginning of each chapter and assessed at the end through questions that range from simple review to thought-provoking applications. Additionally, every chapter contains "How Can I Explain" features, which provide simple, hands-on projects that illustrate a key concept.
AN EMPHASIS ON VISUALS
The text's narrative art programme explains earth science concepts by breaking down processes into a series of steps. Brief annotations embedded throughout the figures explain each phase. Features such as "What a Scientist Sees" present real-world photos alongside drawings that simplify and amplify visual information, while "See For Yourself" features identify sample sites in Google Earth™.
UNMATCHED RESOURCES
Marshak and Rauber provide the tools needed for an engaging lecture, including animations, simulations, videos and PowerPoint slides with art and lecture notes, all available to stream through the Interactive Instructor's Guide or the free
