McGraw-Hill Introduces New Geology Content Based on Modern Learning Techniques - Zibb.com

As climate change and the future of our earth become a part of everyday conversations around the globe, today's college students are looking for educational resources that help them understand the physical world they inhabit. Exploring Geology 2nd edition (McGraw-Hill Higher Education) introduces the world of investigative geology using a visuals-rich format and new digital teaching and learning tools to engage students in science inside and outside of the classroom. Featuring three times the number of illustrations found in typical geology content, this illustrative format is based on extensive cognitive science research by the book's authors.

"Finally, there is an introductory geology textbook that was designed around how today's college students learn," said Scott R. Linneman, Associate Professor of Geology and Science Education, Western Washington University and Past-President, National Association of Geoscience Teachers. "This book is built around illustrations - all information-rich, graphically-interesting figures - that engage most students better than the best written narrative could. From the spectacular opening spreads to the Applications and Investigations section, Exploring Geology provides a full course worth of learning opportunities for use in the classroom and beyond."

"We are pleased to provide students with a unique glimpse into the field of geology and instructors with the valuable visual tools they need to teach often complicated and difficult-to-explain scientific concepts," said Kurt Strand, president of McGraw-Hill Higher Education's Science, Engineering and Mathematics Group. "Based upon illustrations of actual field locations and fascinating geological investigations, this book translates the excitement of field geologists into real-world classroom teaching on the workings of the planet."

Written by Stephen Reynolds, Julia Johnson, Mike Kelly, Paul Morin and Chuck Carter, and endorsed by three former presidents of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers, Exploring Geology utilizes visuals to explain and clarify difficult concepts to today's students. Nearly all the information in Exploring Geology is communicated through photographs and illustrations, instead of the text-heavy material that is typical of traditional books on the subject. Annotated illustrations help students visualize geologic processes and concepts, and are presented in a way that complement instructors' existing teaching styles.

The layout and design of Exploring Geology helps students focus on one important geologic process or concept at a time by utilizing two-page spreads, which are self-contained lessons on a specific topic, and emphasizing geologic concepts, processes, features, and approaches. This technique has been shown to help students learn and organize knowledge effectively.

The printed instructional content is also supported by the unique web-based assignment and assessment platform McGraw-Hill Connect(TM), the most advanced all-digital teaching and learning exchange for higher education. Connect Geology uses the latest technology and adaptive learning techniques to better engage professors with their students, and students to the information and customized resources they need to master a subject. Additionally, accompanying the text are DVDs of more than 2,400 high-resolution images, including 100 three-dimensional images, which can be projected and manipulated in the classroom, Quick-Time objects, and extensive author-created PowerPoint presentations, which are tightly articulated with the text.
