Wicander's Historical Geology
Reed Wicander, James S. Monroe
Résumé
Historical geology: evolution of earth and life through time teaches you basic geologic principles as well as how scientists apply these principles to unravel Earth's history. Three major themes - time, evolutionary theory, and plate tectonics - are woven together throughout the book to help you link essential material to enhance your understanding of historical geology.
The authors also demonstrate how historical geology relates to your experience, affecting individuals as well as society as a whole. The authors consistently emphasize applications relevant to your individual experience to help understand how geology relates to you specifically. By asking the question "What would you do?" or "What do you think?" throughout the text, you will be encouraged to explore your reactions to particular situations.
