Synopsis

For the sophomore/junior-level majors Environmental Geology course. Also appropriate for the introductory freshman/sophomore-level, non-majors course in higher-level departments.

Having originally defined the Environmental Geology course, this text is considered the most serious, detailed, and readable book at this level. The new edition continues to offer on of the most comprehensive, up-to-date treatments―from fundamental geologic principles to the specifics of environmental law and geologic hazards―all from a truly environmental perspective. It fully discusses both processes and environmental issues and details, where appropriate, the quantification of geologic processes.
