Overview

Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is a classic in introductory geology classes that has evolved into a market-leading text read by thousands of students. In keeping with this long-standing tradition, the sixth edition has been updated to include the most current information from the various subdisciplines that comprise physical geology.

This book contains the same text and illustrations as the tenth edition of Physical Geology by Plummer, McGeary, and Carlson. The chapter order has been changed so that internal processes (plate tectonics, earthquakes, etc.) are covered in the first part of the book and external processes (rivers, glaciers, etc.) are described toward the end of the book. This ordering is favored by many geology instructors. Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is featured as the companion text to Earth Revealed Introductory Geology, PBS television course and video resource produced in collaboration with the Annenberg/CPB project. Earth Revealed is a series of twenty-six half-hour video programs organized around the chapters of this text. The television programs document evidence of geologic principles at geographically diverse sites, often using a case study approach. Videocassettes can be purchased individually or as a thirteen-tape set. A Study Guide and Faculty Guide are also available to supplement the programs. For information regarding the use of Earth Revealed Introductory Geology as a television course, or to purchase videocassettes for institutional or classroom use, contact the Annenberg/CPB Multimedia Collection at 1-800-LEARNER.
