DINOSAURS
The Textbook, 5th Edition
By Spencer George Lucas, New Mexico Museum of Natural History
2007 (Oct 2005) / 320 pages

Dinosaurs: The Textbook is a monument to our present understanding of these wonderful creatures. It is a book that takes
the student on a journey through nearly every aspect of dinosaur biology, geology, and the history of their discovery. The
book presents facts together with current ideas, notions, and
controversies. Dr. Lucas presents dinosaurs as successful, living
creatures that were merely different in appearance from animals
living today. Dr. Lucas has written a comprehensive book that
is easily read and understood by students with little scientific
background--a book that teaches students not only how to use
scientific methods, but how to synthesize data to create their
own ideas. In contrast with many dinosaur books from the past,
Dr. Lucas, although indicating his own views, allows students
the opportunity to think for themselves.
New to this edition
 Expanded art and photo program. This is one of the hallmark
strengths of the Lucas text. We added new photos and illustrations as
appropriate to enhance the understanding of the prose.
 New information on the latest dinosaur discoveries has been
added, including the Microraptor from China and the Neuquenraptor
from Argentina.
 Spencer Lucas has updated the text with new and revised theories in
the study of dinosaurs based on his research and reviewer requests.

THE GOOD EARTH
Introduction to Earth Sciences
By David McConnell, David Steer, Katherine Owens, Catherine
Knight and Lisa Park of University of Akron
2008 (February 2007)
ISBN-13: 978-0-07-325650-4 / MHID: 0-07-325650-1
ISBN-13: 978-0-07-331534-8 / MHID: 0-07-331534-6
(with ARIS Instructor QuickStart Guide)
The Good Earth (TGE) is the product of collaboration between
the content rigor provided by Earth Science specialists (McConnell, Park, Steer) and the results of research on learning as
contributed by pedagogical experts (Knight, Owens). TGE has
been explicitly designed to be compatible with inquiry-based,
active learning in the college classroom. The structural elements
of this text will allow the instructor to incorporate these studentcentered teaching methods into their Earth Science course. The
authors have tested the book’s content and pedagogy in large
Earth Science classes for non-majors that are populated with
mostly freshmen. Their experiences show that the materials and
methods in TGE can improve students’ learning, increase daily
attendance, reduce attrition, and increase students’ enthusiasm
in comparison with classes taught following a traditional lecture
format. The authors have chosen to emphasize three scientific
themes throughout the text: i) scientific literacy; ii) Earth Science and the human experience; and, iii) the science of global
change. The discussion of scientific methods is woven into the
text throughout. They have included numerous examples of
human interaction with the Earth that can serve as entry points
for students to appreciate the nature of science. Global change
is a theme that is evident in much current Earth Science research
so our authors have used global change as a content theme
throughout the book.

The text now incorporates the newest ideas on bird origins.
FEATURES

Updated references have been added to the end-of-chapter lists.
• The text emphasizes “active learning” by providing ample opportunities for self-assessement. Some of these can be completed electronically
with results forwarded to the instructor.
Features

Page referenced key terms at the end of each chapter.
 The excellent writing style continues to present a scientifically
accurate overview of dinosaurs that is understandable to the non-science student.
 The Instructor’s Manual is available on the text web site. The
Instructor’s Manual includes a suggested syllabus along with a description of the text’s organization and chapter interdependence to assist
instructors in planning how best to use the text to meet the needs of
their course. The manual provides a description of the material covered
in each chapter as well as suggestions for presenting the material. The
suggestions discuss what material should be emphasized and methods
for overcoming potential difficulties. Answers to all of the review questions are also provided for each chapter, a benefit that’s unique to this
Instructor’s Manual.

• The text organization is similar to competing texts with the defining
difference being the focus on concepts and everyday examples that
will support what is relevant to the student.
• Another unique differentiation is the author’s goal to introduce cognitive development by providing guidance to instructors on “how” to
utilize inquiry-based learning strategies.
• The text is heavily supported by media elements (animations, simulations, actvities, quizzing, etc.)
• The author team provides a specialized range of expertise in geology
and education to support the text’s goal of being a unique collaboration
of earth science and active learning modules.

Intended for the introductory-level college course, the principal
aim of this text is to present the student with a broad overview
of environmental geology. The text looks both at how the earth
developed into its present condition and where matters seem
to be moving for the future. It is hoped that this knowledge will
provide the student with a useful foundation for discussing and
evaluating specific environmental issues, as well as for developing ideas about how the problems should be solved.

NATURAL DISASTERS
6th Edition
By Patrick Leon Abbott, San Diego State University
2008 (March 2007)
ISBN-13: 978-0-07-329232-8 / MHID: 0-07-329232-X
This book focuses on natural disasters: how the normal processes of the Earth concentrate their energies and deal heavy
blows to humans and their structures. It is concerned with how
the natural world operates and, in so doing, kills and maims
humans and destroys their works. Throughout the book, certain
themes are maintained: * energy sources underlying disasters *
plate tectonics and climate change * earth processes operating
in rock, water, and atmosphere * significance of geologic time
* complexities of multiple variables operating simultaneously
* detailed and readable case studies.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• New feature: Entire text has been revised to feature 4-color line
drawings and photos.
• Case Histories: The text aims to explain important principles about
the Earth and then develop further understanding through numerous
case studies.
• End-of-Chapter Learning Aids: Learning aids at the conclusion of
every chapter include Terms to Remember, Questions for Review and
Questions for Further Thought.
• Organization: The primary organization of the book is based on an
energy theme. Chapter 1 leads off with data describing death and destruction, and then examines the energy sources underlying disasters.
Earthquake and volcano disasters fueled by Earth’s internal energy are
addressed in Chapters 2 through 7 and are organized on a plate-tectonics
theme. Disasters powered primarily by gravity are covered in Chapter
8 on mass movements. Disasters fueled by the external energy of the
Sun are examined in Chapters 9 through 13 on climate change, severe
weather, floods, and fire. Chapter 14 examines the great dyings encased
in the fossil record. Chapter 15 examines impacts from asteroids and
comets and includes plans to protect Earth from future impacts.

Utilizing actual case studies and field photographs, this successful lab manual covers the full spectrum of historical geology sediments, plate tectonics, paleontology, and petrology in
flexible, self-contained units. This manual has been developed
for use in both nonmajors and combined courses in historical
geology. The exercises emphasize the principles and methods
by which geologists discover the origins and changing nature
of our planet. These exercises or “studies” will help students
understand how ancient conditions can be read from rocks
and fossils, how geologic forces at the surface and within the
planet can alter the environment and change world geography,
and how events of the past can be placed within an integrated
chronological sequence. The exercises are designed for students who may not intend to specialize in geology. This does
not mean, however, that the treatment is superficial, nor that
it cannot give adequate preparation for students pursuing an
academic major in the earth sciences.

EVOLUTION OF THE EARTH
7th Edition
By Donald A. Prothero, Occidental College and Robert Dott, University of Wisconsin—Madison
2004 (July 2003) / 608 pages
ISBN-13: 978-0-07-252808-4 / MHID: 0-07-252808-7

Website: http://www.mhhe.com/prothero7
Evolution of the Earth reveals the logical framework of geology,
shows relations of the science to the totality of human knowledge, and gives some idea of what it is to be a participant in
the discipline. In keeping with the preference for a “How do
we know?” rather than “What do we know?” approach, the
authors stress what assumptions are made by earth historians,
what kinds of evidence (and tools for gathering that evidence),
and what processes of reasoning and limitations of hypotheses
are involved in reconstructing and interpreting the past. Each
chapter begins with a list of highlights entitled “Major Concepts”. Many chapters have a summary timeline that puts the
entire sequence of events into a quick visual reference frame.
The use of dioramas and reconstructions of extinct animals
and plants has been greatly expanded, so that students can get
a more vivid concept of typical life in any part of the geologic
past. In many places, the authors have supplied a full page of
color photos of classic fossils from each period to improve the
visual recognition of the organisms that give life its distinctive
history. The areas of hottest controversy, such as mass extinctions, dinosaur endothermy, the origin of life, and controversies
over late Proterozoic tectonics and glaciation, have been given
separate sections so that students can appreciate the different
sides of the debates.

EXPLORING THE WORLD OCEAN
By Sean Chamberlin, Fullerton College and Tommy Dickey
2008 (January 2007)
ISBN-13: 978-0-07-331276-7 / MHID: 0-07-331276-2
Exploring the World Ocean presents oceanography as a systems
science, aimed at understanding the world ocean as a single,
interdependent system of interacting geological, physical,
chemical and biological processes. Also emphasized is the idea
that ocean science is an ongoing process, dependent upon cutting-edge technology and research. Students are encouraged to
take an active role in learning by exploring scientific ideas, data,
and alternative ways of thinking as they view oceanography
through the eyes of an oceanographer.
FEATURES
• Exploring the World Ocean takes a systems approach: each chapter
contributes to the understanding of the ocean’s geological, physical,
chemical, and biological processes and how they work together to
form one world ocean.
• Written by an oceanographer and researcher currently in the field,
the authors’ goal is to capture the spirit of oceanography by allowing
the reader to view it through the eyes of an oceanographer.
• “You Might Wonder” sections offer general interest questions and
answers that provide interesting tidbits, strange and amazing facts, common misconceptions and miscellaneous topics of interest to students.
• Each chapter ends with Critical Thinking questions and activities
which are designed to help students assess their understanding of chapter
material. These questions also provide an excellent starting point for
deeper explorations of a topic in classroom or online discussions.
• Appendices include: Symbols, Metric System, Conversions, and
Useful Oceanographic Formulas.
• A fold-out map at the end of the book provides a quick reference to
the oceans, seas, bays, gulfs, straights, channels, and waters that form
the world ocean.
• The Online Learning Center features additional tools and activities for
students including: chapter quizzing, key terms flashcards, web links,
animations, and Scripps video clips.
• Instructors will find an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint Lecture
outlines, and CPS questions.

Future Explorations Appendices
• Guided by the desire to present science as a process and to immerse
students in the literature of modern day oceanographic research,
fundamental questions of human and scientific interest are explored
throughout the text.
• Exploring the World Ocean offers a more contemporary view of
oceanography, prompting students to question the ocean and its systems,
and to seek answers by investigating the different tools and methods
scientists use to explain the processes they observe.
• “Spotlight” boxed readings highlight cutting-edge oceanographic
research and technology through discussions of ocean-related environmental and societal issues, as well as controversies and areas of
research where oceanographers disagree. These boxes provide added
interest and demonstrate the fact that science is constantly changing.
Topics include: Sea Floor Observatories: Telescopes to Inner Space,
Increasing CO2 in the World Ocean, Are the Polar Ice Caps Melting?,
and Robotic “Oceanographers” Witness Extreme Events.
• Pedagogical features include: chapter outline, Questions to Consider,
bolded key terms, “Spotlight” boxed readings, “You Might Wonder”
questions and answers, bulleted key concepts, Terms to Remember,
and directions to the Online Learning Center for self-assessment, web
links, and animations.
• Each chapter begins with Questions to Consider; a set of questions
that may be used as an introduction to a topic, or a starting point for
inquiry-based studies. These questions are intended to stimulate curiosity
and promote thinking like an oceanographer.
• Historical content and environmental issues are woven throughout
the text in the context of chapter-specific subject matter.
• Figure captions often function as an extension of the text by providing new or additional information about a topic. This forces students
to view the art as a learning tool, and helps them to better understand
the concept being presented.
• Exploring the World Ocean contains more than 400 full-color maps,
illustrations and photographs. All of the art has been carefully designed
and selected to complement and reinforce the text. World maps have
been put on the Robinson projection for added visual appeal.

An Introduction to the World’s Oceans, Ninth Edition, is an
introductory oceanography text intended for students without
a background in mathematics, chemistry, physics, geology, or
biology. It emphasizes the role of basic scientific principles in
helping understand the processes that govern the ocean and
the earth. A major objective of the text is to stimulate student
interest and curiosity by blending contemporary information and
research with basic principles to form an integrated introduction to the sciences of the oceans. To keep the text as current as
possible, the authors conduct their own research and examine
other findings such as analyzing satellite data and large-scale
oceanographic programs. From this vast amount of data, they
select interesting, relevant, and understandable examples
that illustrate contemporary principles of oceanography. An
Introduction to the World’s Oceans places greater emphasis
on the physical and geological aspects of the oceans than on
the chemical and geochemical properties, because the latter
disciplines require more specific background knowledge. An
ecological approach helps integrate the biological chapters with
other subjects. Students are encouraged to look at oceanography
as a cohesive and united discipline rather than a collection of
subjects gathered under a marine umbrella. As with all previous
editions, the authors continue to make each chapter stand as
independently as possible, so that professors can assign chapters
in the order that best suits their classrooms.

This is the first text to combine both paleontology and paleobiology. Traditional textbooks treat these separately, despite the
recent trend to combine them in teaching. It bridges the gap
between purely theoretical paleobiology and purely descriptive invertebrate paleontology books. The text is targeted at
undergraduate geology and biology majors, with the emphasis
on organisms, rather than dead objects to be described and
catalogued. Current ideas from modern biology, ecology,
population genetics, and many other concepts will be applied
to the study of the fossil record.

Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is a classic in introductory
geology classes. This text, which includes the same information
as the market-leading Physical Geology, 11th Edition, is for the
professor who wants to use the same valuable information and
engaging format but in a different teaching sequence. Coverage of plate tectonics is moved to the beginning of the book.
In keeping with the long-standing tradition, the seventh edition
has been updated to include the most current information from
the various sub-disciplines that comprise physical geology. The
book’s purpose is to clearly present the various aspects of physical geology so that students can understand the logic of what
scientists have discovered, as well as the elegant way the parts
are interrelated to explain how Earth, as a whole, works. The
outstanding art program and proven, accessible writing style
will grab students’ attention and further their interest. This text
continues to be used as the official textbook to accompany the
Annenberg CPB distributed telecourse for physical geology.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• McGraw-Hill is proud to bring you an assortment of 44 outstanding animations like no others. These include 20 new animations and
24 animations retained from previous editions. These animations are
located on ARIS and also on the Digital Content Manager. A special
animation icon has been placed beside every figure in the text that has
a corresponding animation.
• This new edition includes an updated art program that will not only
aid in understanding, but also engage students’ interest. Over 300 illustrations have been revised or created from scratch. Over 130 new
photos have been added to provide the reader with significant detail
to support the textual material. Several photos from previous editions
have been retained for their subject matter, but have been electronically
enhanced to improve focus and clarity.
• “A Geologist’s View” pieces have been added. Seventeen photos in
the text are accompanied by an illustration depicting how a geologist
would view the scene. Students gain experience understanding how
the trained eye of a geologist views a scene in order to understand
the historical processes that have occurred that result in what they are
seeing today.
• McGraw-Hill’s ARIS for Carlson is a complete electronic homework
and course management system, designed for greater ease of use than
any other system available. Instructors can create and share course
materials and assignments with colleagues with a few clicks of the
mouse. Instructors can edit questions, import their own content, and
create announcements and due dates for assignments. ARIS has automatic grading and reporting of easy-to-assign homework, quizzing, and
testing. Once a student is registered in the course, all student activity
within McGraw-Hill’s ARIS is automatically recorded and available
to the instructor through a fully integrated grade book that can be
downloaded to Excel.
• New Classroom Performance System and Questions--McGraw-Hill
has partnered with eInstruction to provide the revolutionary Classroom
Performance System (CPS) and to bring interactivity into the classroom.
CPS is a wireless response system that gives the instructor and students
immediate feedback from the entire class. The wireless response pads
are essentially remotes that engage students and are easy to use. CPS
allows you to motivate student preparation, interactivity, and active
learning so you can receive immediate feedback and know what students
understand. A text-specific set of questions, formatted for both CPS and
PowerPoint, is available via download from the Instructor area of the
Online Learning Center.
• A three page fold-out map has been added to the back of the text for
students’ reference. The front side of the foldout contains a geographic
map of the world.
FEATURES
• Planetary Geology Boxes. These boxes compare features elsewhere
in the solar system to their Earthly counterparts (e.g.; Stream Features
on the Planet Mars).
• Environmental Geology Boxes. These boxes discuss topics that relate the chapter material to environmental issues, including impact on
humans (e.g., Radon-A Radioactive Health Hazard).
• Earth Systems Boxes. These boxes highlight the interrelationships
between the geosphere, the atmosphere, and other Earth systems (e.g.,
Oxygen Isotopes and Climate Change).
• Web Boxes. These boxes summarize material that is further explained
on the book’s Online Learning Center.
• Internet Resource Integration. The Internet has revolutionized the way
we obtain knowledge, and this book makes full use of its potential to
help students learn. We have URLs for appropriate websites throughout
the book– within the main body of text, at the end of many boxes, and
at the end of chapters. We have made the process student-friendly by
having all websites that we mention in the book posted as links in this
book’s Online Learning Center website. (We also include all URLs in
the textbook for those who wish to go directly to a site.)
• In Greater Depth Boxes. These boxes discuss phenomena that are
not necessarily covered in a geology course (e.g., Precious Gems) or
present material in greater depth (e.g., Calculating the Age of a Rock).
• Purpose Statements. Each chapter begins with a statement of purpose
of the chapter and its relationship with other chapters. This is usually
followed by a section showing how that chapter’s material relates to
Earth systems.
