Cover of Foundations of Earth Science: Pearson New International Edition

For courses in Earth Science.

The brief, paperback version of the best-selling Earth Science, 9/E, this text offers a user-friendly overview of the physical environment. It retains the hallmarks professors expect from Fred Lutgens and Ed Tarbuck-a student-friendly writing style, carefully crafted art program, and coverage of the most recent current events. For the first time, each copy of the text comes packaged with the GEODE II student CD-ROM. Many enhancements have been made to the instructional package.

Cover of The Earth

The Earth

by Edward J Tarbuck and Frederick K Lutgens

Published February 1984
Surveying the basic topics of physical geology, this text is written in straighforward, non-technical language for the benefit of students with little or no college-level science experience. The text provides a sense of the observational techniques and reasoning processes, which foster a basic understanding of physical geology. A cornerstone of previous editions of "Earth" has been its art program. This edition includes a thoroughly revised and expanded selection of colour photographs and line art, including more than 200 new or redrawn illustrations by Dennis Tasa and Tasa Graphics, Inc.

Cover of Earth Science
This text offers a user-friendly overview of our physical environment with balanced, up-to-date coverage of geology, oceanography, astronomy, and meteorology. The text takes full advantage of the subject's visual appeal - discussions are reinforced with colour photos - over 550 new to this edition. A designated home page is featured which provides students with on-line review exercises, opportunities for further research, follow-up on items mentioned in the text, and links to a wealth of interesting sites related to the chapter material. The text discusses current environmental and resource topics, integrates information about the relationship between people and the physical environment, and explores applications of the Earth Sciences to understanding and solving problems that arise from these interactions. This edition also contains information from recent geologic events such as the Kobe, Japan Earthquake (1995).

Integrated Reviews and Helpful Hints strtegically placed throughout the text provide students with additional review and immediate reinforcement. 4-Step Problem Solving Approach introduced in Chapter 2 and reinforced throughout the text in applications and exercises increase students' confidence in tackling problems.

Cover of Essentials of Geology

For courses in physical geology and introduction to geology

This ninth edition of Essentials of Geology offers completely updated material and an extensively revised design, yet retains the hallmarks instructors have come to expect from Lutgens and Tarbuck - a student-friendly writing style, outstanding illustrations by Dennis Tasa that are both geologically accurate and visually appealing, and updated coverage of the most recent geologic events.

Cover of Beginning and Intermediate Algebra

For college-level courses of combined introductory and intermediate algebra.

Elayn Martin-Gay's success as a developmental math author and teacher starts with a strong focus on mastering the basics through well-written explanations, innovative pedagogy and a meaningful, integrated program of learning resources. The revisions provide new pedagogy and resources to build student confidence, help students develop basic skills and understand concepts, and provide the highest level of instructor and adjunct support.

Martin-Gay's series is well known and widely praised for an unparalleled ability to:

*Explain key concepts clearly with an excellent, accessible writing style.

*Build problem-solving skills with thoroughly integrated problem solving techniques and explanations.

*Relate to students through real-life applications that are interesting, relevant, and practical.

Martin-Gay believes that every student can:

*Test better: The new Chapter Test Prep Video shows Martin-Gay working step-by-step video solutions to every problem in each Chapter Test to enhance mastery of key chapter content.

*Study better: New, integrated Study Skills Reminders reinforce the skills introduced in section 1.1, "Tips for Success in Mathematics" to promote an increased focus on the development of all-important study skills.

*Learn better: The enhanced exercise sets and new pedagogy, like the Concept Checks, mean that students have the tools they need to learn successfully.

Martin-Gay believes that every student can succeed, and with each successive edition enhances her pedagogy and learning resources to provide evermore relevant and useful tools to help students and instructors achieve success.

Cover of Prealgebra

Prealgebra

by Margaret Lial and L Hestwood Dianne

Published 1 October 1998

This prealgebra text helps prepare students for higher-level math courses by integrating basic algebraic concepts early and continuing to revisit those concepts throughout the text. Student comprehension is aided by the friendly composition and current, relevant applications. Student motivation is increased by immersion in genuine and realistic mathematical situations.

This prealgebra text, as a part of the Lial/Hornsby/Miller developmental worktext series, focuses on students by helping them reduce their confusion of symbols for subtraction with negative numbers. The text also clearly demonstrates why the product of two negative numbers is a positive number and explains why letters instead of numbers are used in algebra. This text helps students solve applied problems and increases their proficiency in solving fraction and percent problems.
