Earth Science: An Introduction

Designed in direct response to student surveys, focus groups and interviews, Hendrix's "Earth Science: An Introduction," 4th Edition, brings Earth Science to life by delivering easy-to-read text illustrated with conceptual diagrams, field photos and images from major recent events in Earth Science. The text's framework for understanding the solid Earth, oceans and atmosphere and their dynamics, emphasizes the interconnectedness of these systems with Earth’s life forms, including humans. The final three chapters view Earth as a planetary body by investigating the Earth-Moon pair, solar system, Sun and surrounding universe. Current, cutting-edge research is integrated into the text, while Digging Deeper sections provide descriptions of key related topics. Conceptual diagrams, artwork, original field photos and MindTap, the digital learning solution, enables you to learn on your own terms.
