Created through a "student-tested, faculty-approved" review process from nearly 70 students and faculty, EARTH is an engaging and accessible solution to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of today's learners. The 2nd edition of EARTH has been thoroughly revised by Marc S. Hendrix of the University of Montana to ensure that the new edition is even more student-friendly and accessible than its predecessor. Over 75 new photos and 50 reworked illustrations offer an enhanced visual learning experience for a subject that is visual by its nature. EARTH presents a rich overview of all Earth-related disciplines-from geology, hydrology, and oceanography to meteorology and astronomy. EARTH explores the physical attributes of planet Earth and its environment, emphasizing the human choices we have made, and exploring the physical consequences of those choices in the context of Earth systems.
