Historical Geology: Evolution of Earth and Life Through Time

Reed Wicander James S. Monroe

HISTORICAL GEOLOGY: EVOLUTION OF EARTH AND LIFE THROUGH TIME, THIRD EDITION, teaches students the basic principles of the physical and biological events of Earth's history, as well as how scientists apply these principles to unravel the history of Earth. Authors Wicander and Monroe present a balanced overview of both the geological and biological history of the Earth as a continuum of inter-related events. These events reflect the underlying principles and processes that have shaped our planet. The authors also explain the historical development of these basic principles and processes, and their importance in deciphering the history of Earth. Three major themes - time, evolutionary theory, and plate tectonics - are woven throughout the book. These themes help readers link what may seem like unrelated material and are essential for understanding historical geology. Included with every new copy of this edition are In-TERRA-Active 2.0 CD-ROM and InfoTrac College Edition. New features integrate these exciting products into the book for readers.

Essentials of geology

Reed Wicander James S. Monroe

ESSENTIALS OF GEOLOGY, Fourth Edition is a shorter version of the authors' PHYSICAL GEOLOGY: EXPLORING THE EARTH, Fifth Edition text. In the same tradition, the authors present the content and material in a clear, consistent voice, focusing on plate tectonics in the first two chapters and offering more material on earth history than other texts in the market. The authors also draw the student into physical geology by providing engaging examples, as can be seen in the Cultural Connection boxes, a new pedagogical feature in this edition. Chapter opener objectives are now numbered so that students can easily recognize the crucial points of the chapter while reading and then they are numbered again in the chapter summary, for review. The Fourth Edition has numerous new photos that will be of interest to faculty and students alike and offers a new online student tutorial called GeologyNow. GeologyNow is the first assessment-centered student tutorial technology developed for the Geology market. The seamless integration of GeologyNow with chapter concepts emphasizes the connections between the content and students' own lives, through visual 3-D animations and chapter quizzes, in order to develop a greater appreciation for physical geology.

Geología: Dinámica y evolución de la Tierra

James S. Monroe R. Wicander Manuel Pozo

Geologia. Dinamica y evoluciOn de la Tierra, pretende ser un texto de referenda en las asignaturas de Geologia que se imparten en diversas licenciaturas e ingenierias, en las que es necesario conocer aspectos de las ciencias de la Tierra relacionados con la Geologia Fisica y/o Historica. Un especial esfuerzo se ha realizado en la reestructuracion de los capitulos de Geologia Historica (19 al 23) en los que se han reducido las frecuentes alusiones a la evolucion geologica de Norteamerica y en contrapartida se han incrementado las referencias a los acontecimientos geologicos acaecidos en Europa, Centro y Sudamerica y la Peninsula Iberica. Los objetivos de este libro son proporcionar a los estudiantes una comprension basica de la geologia moderna. En este sentido adquiere relevancia no solo el reconocimiento de la estructura y composicion de la litosfera, hidrosfera y atmosfera, sino ademas los procesos geologicos internos y externos que los afectan, integrandose dentro del ampliamente aceptado modelo de Tectonica de placas. Se hace un especial enfasis, con numerosos ejemplos, de como la Geologia se relaciona con el Medio Ambiente e interacciona, de forma inevitable, con los seres vivos, entre ellos los seres humanos y su sociedad. Los conocimientos adquiridos sobre Geologia Fisica se complementan proporcionando a los estudiantes una vision general de la historia geologica y biologica de la Tierra, no como un conjunto de hechos enciclopedicos a memorizar sino como una serie de acontecimientos sucesivos, que basandose en los principios basicos de la Geologia, reflejan los acontecimientos geologicos y biologicos fundamentales que han conformado nuestro planeta y la vida sobre el. El alumno descubrira que la Tierra es un ente dinamico, cambiante en el tiempo, que muestra a lo largo de sus 4.600 millones de anos una compleja historia, con numerosos eventos interrelacionados en los que se pone de manifiesto la fragilidad y dependencia de nuestro planeta ante los diversos sistemas actuantes, pero al mismo tiempo su gran capacidad de evolucion, y de renovacion biologica. CD Rom (en ingles) Figuras animadas Presenta una geologia viva con figuras animadas en cada seccion, asi como actividades interactivas. Este material motiva la curiosidad de los estudiantes, provocando una vision de la geologia desde nuevas perspectivas, favoreciendo que relacionen sus nuevos conocimientos sobre el planeta con su propia vida diaria. Manual del profesor con Banco de examenes Contiene aproximadamente 2.000 preguntas actualizadas para esta edicion, resumenes de capitulos, objetivos de aprendizaje, sugerencias acerca de conferencias, terminos importantes y una lista de recursos clave.
