Physical Geology: Earth Revealed

If you prefer to cover plate tectonics early in your course or if you're interested in using the PBS television course,Earth Revealed,this textbook is a very successful option for you. Based on the original text,Physical Geology,Sixth Edition,(Wm. C. Brown Publishers,1994) by Plummer and McGeary,Earth Revealed has been reordered (covering plate tectonics earlier) to correspond to the sequence of topics presented in the 26 half-hour television programs. Although it was designed to accompany the PBS telecourse,Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is suited for any course where internal processes are presented first and surfacial processes last.
