Designed to accompany Tarbuck and Lutgens' Earth Science and Foundations of Earth Science this manual can also be used for any Earth science lab course and in conjunction with any text. It minimises the need for faculty instruction in the lab, freeing instructors to interact directly with students. Widely praised for its concise coverage and dynamic illustrations by Dennis Tasa, the text contains twenty-four step-by-step exercises that reinforce major topics in geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy.
