    "Earth Lab: Exploring the Earth Sciences" by Claudia Owen, Diane Pirie, Grenville Draper
    Third Edition
    Cengage Learning, Brooks/Cole | 2011 | ISBN: 053873700X 9780538737005 | 474 pages | PDF | 76 MB

    Utilizing graphs and simple calculations, this clearly written lab manual complements the study of earth science or physical geology. You'll learn how to understand aerial and satellite images; to perceive the importance of stratigraphic columns, geologic sections, and seismic waves; and more.

    Engaging activities are designed to help you develop data-gathering skills (e.g., mineral and rock identification) and data-analysis skills.
