A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

EDWARD A. KELLER is professor of environmental geology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he holds a joint appointment with the Environmental Studies Program and the Department of Geological Sciences. Professor Keller's research focuses on natural hazards, including wildfire, flooding, and earthquakes. He is also evaluating the environmental impacts of ecotourism. Professor Keller received his doctorate from Purdue University in 1973; as a graduate student, he wrote the first five chapters of the first edition of Environmental Geology. Professor Keller enjoys teaching and research, and hopes his textbooks help students to appreciate geology and to assist them in becoming better and more informed citizens in our complex world.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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.
