Synopsis

The Eighth Edition of Interpreting Earth History continues a legacy of authoritative coverage, providing the flexibility and scope necessary to engage students with geological data from a variety of sources and scales. The authors carefully review the subjects covered in current historical geology courses and have tailored each stand-alone assignment to offer a clear, straightforward examination of pertinent topics. The content of this classroom-tested laboratory manual has been expanded and enhanced to include exercises on the Precambrian history of the Canadian Shield as well as an understanding of the stratigraphic, structural, and depositional history of North America during the Phanerozoic Eon. Now in full color, students will become more proficient in their ability to see and recognize geological patterns as well as the compositional and textural attributes of rocks and fossils.

Review

"The new edition is a huge improvement. The use of color makes diagrams easier for students to understand. The new labs are great." --Bruce Oldfield, Broome Community College

"Beautiful graphics and figures. Thank you for creating such a clear, comprehensive, well-illustrated lab manual." --Carrie Meisner, Great Basin College

"The manual is 'to the point' with many exercises/labs that fit into the class curriculum. In addition, it contains consistently high-quality illustrations (not a standard in other similar lab manuals!), neither too schematic nor too complex. Price is very reasonable." --Axel Hungerbuehler, Mesalands Community College
