The renowned eBook titled, “The Changing Earth: Discovering Geology And Evolution Seventh Edition”, stands out amongst textbooks designed explicitly for college courses that delve into both physical and historical geology. The textbook emphasizes the three interconnected themes of organic evolution, plate tectonics, and geologic time, enabling college students to comprehend the complexity of our Earth, which remains an integrated and constantly changing system. The authors of the seventh edition, James S. Monroe and Reed Wicander, have included new content highlighting the significance of geology’s economic impacts. This new material covers areas such as fracking, nuclear waste, and the threat of earthquakes in new Geo-Impact boxes. The authors are known for their lucid writing style and go beyond mere geology explanation to position this knowledge within the context of the human experience by emphasizing resources, relevance, and the environment. The new Global Geosciences Watch activities equip college students with the skills to use an extensive database of geology articles, available only for users of this ebook, which are updated several times a day. Please Note: Only the PDF version is available, and it does not comprise any online codes.
