Description :
Retaining an inquiry-based approach to learning, the Second Canadian Edition of Physical Geology & The Environment by Plummer et al incorporates the rich geology of Canada with elaborate examples throughout the text, as well as an entire chapter focusing on the geological history of Canada. Because the discipline of geology holds vital importance in the economic, social, and political realms of Canada, detailed references to Canadian examples have been updated and incorporated into this new edition.
