The Essential Earth is a whole new way to open students eyes to the physical world around them, to learn how scientists explore it, and what we need to do to both protect ourselves from it (hazards) as well as protect it from us (global change). In just 14 chapters, it offers a wellfocused introduction to the basics of geology that emphasize the process of science and how humans interact with our home, Spaceship Earth.The Essential Earth is NOT an abridged version of Understanding Earth, cowritten by the same authors. It is a wholly reenvisioned book, written specifically for instructors who want a scientifically sound text that a nonscientific audience will embraceone that is clearer, briefer, more exciting, and less expensive that anything else available.
