Hi everyone,
I was curious if anyone could recommend a conceptually-based
geology text for a physical geology class for non-science majors. I’m
currently using Marshak (Essentials of Geology 3rd Ed), but find it
to be more of a collection of geological facts than a conceptual approach to
the discipline. I’m not looking for something watered down, but a
text that presents information as dynamic themes (e.g. rock cycle, plate
tectonics, etc) or events/processes (e.g. a study of the eruption of Mt St
Helens, Wegener’s scientific reasoning towards theory formation).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Pete
