Ludman and Marshak’s lab manual gets students engaging in geologic exploration with exciting, intuitive labs, rich illustrations, and 3D models of geologic specimen within the ebook.
The Laboratory Manual for Introductory Geology provides an engaging way to learn geology, focusing on active exploration and real-life applications. Allan Ludman and Stephen Marshak are influential researchers and expert teachers who know how to make geoscience exciting for students. They introduce and reinforce key concepts and skills through rich illustrations, accessible explanations, intuitive labs with easy-to-follow instructions, and pedagogical tools that help students think like geologists.?
The manual’s modular chapters make it flexible and easy to assign with any introductory geology textbook, especially Marshak’s Earth: Portrait of a Planet and Essentials of Geology. To make the lab experience more dynamic, the manual is supported by interactive resources, including 3D models of geologic specimens, videos, animations, interactive simulations, and Google Earth activities.?
New to this edition:
A reorganized Table of Contents designed to follow the typical sequence of the geology lab course.
Revised and expanded discussion of plate tectonics, which is introduced in Ch. 2: The Way the Earth Works: Examining Plate Tectonics and further explored in a brand-new Ch. 10: Plate Tectonics II: A Deeper Understanding, which builds on the coverage of minerals, rocks, rock deformation, and earthquakes presented in the preceding chapters.
New and revised exercises and activities based on reviewer feedback, including the earthquake epicenter exercise central to Ch. 9 and two groundwater pollution exercises in Ch. 14.?
Coverage of recent geological events, including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, accelerating climate change, and glacial retreat.
Allan Ludman is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Queens College—part of the City University of New York. He has devoted more than four decades to deciphering the evolution of the Northern Appalachians through field and laboratory studies in Maine and New Brunswick. He has taught introductory geology for over 40 years and supervised the laboratories for over 35 years. Over the last two decades, Ludman has directed a K-12 science teacher development program in southern New York State influenced by hands-on, inquiry-based Earth Systems research. Stephen Marshak is a Professor Emeritus of Geology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he taught for 35 years. During this time, he also served as Head of the Department of Geology and as Director of the School of Earth, Society, & Environment. Steve holds an A.B. from Cornell University, an M.S. from the University of Arizona, and a Ph.D. from Columbia University, all in geology. His research interests in structural geology and tectonics have taken him in the field on several continents. Steve, a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, has won the highest teaching awards at both the college and campus levels at the University of Illinois, and has also received a Neil Miner Award from the National Association of Geoscience Teachers for “exceptional contributions to the stimulation of interest in the Earth Sciences.” His other books include Essentials of Geology, Earth Science, Natural Disasters, Laboratory Manual for Introductory Geology, Laboratory Manual for Earth Science, Earth Structure: An Introduction to Structural Geology and Tectonics, and Basic Methods of Structural Geology.
