About the Book

Physical Geography Manual is the ideal companion for any physical geography course or text. With 29 labs to choose from, it allows the instructor to select the labs that best fit the course objectives. The instructor determines which labs to use and in what order to assign them. The labs offer a spectrum of material that challenges students, but at the same time, covers the basics. The letter-number identifications on all exercises enable the instructor to easily assign or omit specific exercise questions. Lab exercises cover topics such as: Earth-Sun Relations Weather and Climate Thunderstorms Hurricanes and Tornadoes Map Reading Air Photo Interpretation Landforms of Rivers, Glaciers, Shorelines, and Wind Physical Geography Manual is more than just a collection of exercises and questions. Compared to the typical lab manual, it provides a greater amount of textual and explanatory information. Students with various backgrounds in geography will be able to complete the labs with minimal instruction. There are 24 full-color topographic maps, over 250 diagrams and more than 200 ground and aerial photographs to further expand their learning. The seventh edition also includes sections on the electromagnetic spectrum, the greenhouse effect, and global warming. A CD is included with additional exercises that can be selectively added to the appropriate semester work.
