Description
This debut edition of Visualizing Geology offers professors the opportunity to immerse their students in the world of physical geology, and share their passion for the discipline.  Focusing on natural geological processes and their influences on the global population, Visualizing Geology presents the flux of influences on the world's geological processes and its population of six billion people.  

Visualizing Geology combines Wiley’s expertise in creating top quality textbooks with rich visual resources such as photographs, maps, illustrations, diagrammatic art, and videos from our National Geographic partners, with the content and teaching expertise of our authors. 

Visualizing Geology relies heavily on the integration of National Geographic and other visuals with text to elucidate concepts for students and solidify their understanding of them. The goal is to help students understand the world around them and interpret what they see in a meaningful, accurate and exciting way. The content, design and layout of the titles take advantage of the full capacity in which students process information – visual as well as verbal.  

Visualizing Geology also helps students examine their own personal studying and learning styles with several new pedagogical aids -- encouraging students to apply what they are learning to their everyday lives. Visualizing Geology continues to offer ongoing study tips and psychological techniques for mastering the material.  Most importantly students are provided with numerous opportunities to immediately access their understanding.
