including highlighting, bookmarking, note-taking,

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.
