Book Description :
Historical Geology: Evolution of Earth & Life Through Time, 8th Edition provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of historical geology and their application in unraveling Earth’s complex history. This textbook emphasizes the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems and subsystems, helping students understand how these dynamic systems have shaped the planet over geological time.
Students will explore the underlying causes of significant events in Earth’s history and learn how to interpret these events within the broader context of Earth’s evolving systems. The book’s approach ensures that students grasp the relevance of Earth’s history as part of an integrated, dynamic system rather than a series of isolated and unrelated occurrences.
The 8th Edition covers essential topics such as the origin of the universe, plate tectonics, the rock cycle, geologic time, and the evolution of life. With a clear, concise presentation of complex concepts, this textbook is an invaluable resource for students studying historical geology.
