Earth Revealed
Physical Geology: Earth Revealed, 5/e 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 preferred by many geology instructors.Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is also featured as the companion
text to Earth Revealed Introductory Geology, a 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 Physical Geology: Earth Revealed.
The television programs document evidence of geologic principles at geographically
diverse sites, often using a case study approach. Videocassettes can be purchased
individually or 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.
