The optional, free package item includes the two-page guide from the text and a worksheet for each chapter€™s Google Earth„¢ Geotour. It is supported by a complete learning and teaching package. Innovative media, such as Geotours€”which take students on virtual field trips using Google Earth„¢€”make it possible for instructors to bring real-world geology to life in the classroom. Perfect as homework, lab, or extra-credit assignments, the workbook asks students to observe and measure real-world geologic sites, thereby deepening their understanding of important concepts in the textbook. Using high-resolution satellite and aerial photography, Google Earth„¢ creates spectacular 3-D images

Stephen Marshak’s bestselling text and media make geology easy for students to understand.Essentials of Geology, Fifth Edition, integrates Marshak’s popular and proven text approach with exciting new media and assessment resources that guide students to a clearer understanding of the course material. Marshak has personally applied his expertise, with an emphasis on the visuals, to this robust suite of videos, animations and simulations, art, and interactive assessment questions that get students seeing and engaging with geologic concepts as a geologist would.

A hands-on, visual learning experience for physical geology Marshak’s NEW Guided Learning Explorations on key topics, Smartwork5 activities featuring a variety of engaging question types, and exclusive Geotours Google Earth exercises make for a memorable hands-on learning experience. These resources integrate and build on the vibrant, narrative-style visuals from the text. Our robust suite of videos, animations, and interactive simulations help students master geologic concepts.

Product Description 
Marshak geology meets active, virtual learning. The gold standard text for helping students visualize and understand geologic processes makes hands-on and real-world exploration easier and more impactful than ever, in any course setting. 
New 3D specimen and digital elevation models, with corresponding Smartwork exercises, allow students to examine specimens and sites as if they were in the field or lab. And 
new highly visual “Practice What You Know” and “What Can You See?” activities at the end of each chapter and in Smartwork help students synthesize and apply important concepts like a geologist. Thoroughly updated with current events and essential data, the Seventh Edition also reveals the dynamism of geology and how it impacts our lives
