Key Benefit: This is the only introductory book that fully integrates the two major energy systems of Earth: the plate tectonic system and the hydrological cycle. Key Topics: Using these systems to fully explore fundamental geological processes, this eighth edition continues to offer Hamblin's stunning and sophisticated art program that is virtually unmatched by any other geology book. It presents an integrated approach to important geologic systems to give readers/students a better overall understanding of our Earth. Unparalleled illustration program: many photographs were taken by the author and all illustrations were developed under his supervision.
