Essentials of Geology, 13th Edition. Frederick K Lutgens Edward J. Tasa, Tasa Graphic Arts, Inc. Using dynamic media to bring geology to life. Description For introductory physical geology courses. This package includes Mastering Geology. Essentials of Geology , 13th Edition is also available via Pearson eText , a simple-to-use, mobile, personalized reading experience that lets instructors connect with and motivate students — right in their eTextbook.

Key Features. SmartFigure QR Code. Active Learning Path A four-part learning path facilitates active learning, allowing students to focus on important ideas and pause to assess their progress at frequent intervals: Focus on Concepts are numbered learning objectives that correspond to each major section of the chapter.
Concept Checks allow students to monitor their understanding of significant facts and ideas within each chapter. Pre-Lecture Reading Quizzes ensure that students complete the assigned reading before class and stay on track with reading assignments. Dynamic assessment questions—related to core geology concepts—include hints and specific wrong-answer feedback to help coach students towards mastery of the concepts while improving their geospatial reasoning skills.
Geoscience Animations illuminate the most difficult-to-visualize topics from across the physical geosciences, such as solar system formation, the hydrologic cycle, plate tectonics, glacial advance and retreat, global warming, and more. The animation activities include audio narration, a text transcript, and assignable questions with specific wrong-answer feedback. GeoTutor Activities help students master the most challenging geology concepts with highly visual, data-rich, kinesthetic activities focused on critical thinking and the application of core geoscience concepts.
The 13th edition now incorporates mobile Quick Response QR code media links to over videos and animations, giving readers immediate access to five types of dynamic media to help visualize physical processes and concepts. SmartFigures extend the print book to bring geology to life, are available in the Mastering Geology Study Area and for assignment with quizzes, and are also linked from the eText.
SmartFigure Mobile Field Trips take students to iconic geologic locations as they accompany geologist—pilot—photographer—author Michael Collier in the air and on the ground. Students can see and learn about iconic locations around North America and beyond that relate to concepts in the chapter. Videos include annotation, sketching, and narration to help students learn about monoclines, streams, terraces, and so much more. GigaPan Activities allow students to take advantage of a virtual field experience and perform detailed image analysis using ultra high-resolution photographic technology developed by Carnegie Mellon University in conjunction with NASA.
SmartFigure Animations. This technology allows students to view moving figures rather than static art to depict how a geologic process truly moves throughout time. SmartFigure Videos. These short video clips help illustrate such diverse subjects as mineral properties and the structure of ice sheets. SmartFigure Tutorial Videos present students with a 3- to 4-minute feature mini-lesson prepared and narrated by Professor Callan Bentley.
Each lesson examines and explains the concepts illustrated by the figure. With over SmartFigure Tutorials inside the text, students have a multitude of ways to enjoy art that teaches. Team names are no longer case sensitive Help your students develop critical thinking skills Monitor responses to find out where your students are struggling Rely on real-time data to adjust your teaching strategy Automatically group students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time.
Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text.
These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers. Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course.
