This ground-breaking  visually spectacular book was designed from cognitive and educational research on how students think  learn  and study. Nearly all information in the book is built around 2 600 photographs and stunning illustrations  rather than being in long blocks of text that are not articulated with figures. These annotated illustrations help students visualize geologic processes and concepts  and are suited to the way most instructors already teach. To alleviate cognitive load and help students focus on one important geologic process or concept at a time  the book consists entirely of two-page spreads organized into 19 chapters. Each two-page spread is a self-contained block of information about a specific topic  emphasizing geologic concepts  processes  features  and approaches. These spreads help students learn and organize geologic knowledge in a new and exciting way. Inquiry is embedded throughout the book  modeling how geologists investigate problems. The title of each two-page spread and topic heading is a question intended to get readers to think about the topic and become interested and motivated to explore the two-page spread for answers. Each chapter is a learning cycle  which begins with a visually engaging two-page spread about a compelling geologic issue. Each chapter ends with an Investigation that challenges students with a problem associated with a virtual place. The world-class media  spectacular presentations  and assessments are all tightly articulated with the textbook. This book is designed to encourage students to observe  interpret  think critically  and engage in authentic inquiry  and is highly acclaimed by reviewers  instructors  and students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648247816245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0078022924","price":90.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780078022920.jpg?v=1781713554","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/exploring-geology-9780078022920","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
