New edition of an introductory text written to present the basics of physical geology to students who are new to science as well as to geoscience. Frank Press (Washington Advisory Group) and Raymond Siever (Harvard U., Emeritus) cover geological concepts and processes while incorporating information about public policy (e.g., the politics of global warming and reducing loss from landslides) and geologic research (e.g., ice-core drilling in Antarctica and new dates on the Geologic time scale).
