About this book

Visualizing EarthScience relies heavily on rich visuals to expand on concepts for students and solidify their understanding of them.

Authors Zeeya Merali and Brian Skinner focus on visual learning in their debut of their first edition, Visualizing Earth Science. This text weaves illustrated timelines throughout to exemplify how concepts fit together and develop over time. Students will quickly learn difficult concepts with this innovative, visual approach.
