4th Edition Now in Press!
Dr. William Harbert, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Geology and Planetary
Science, has updated his popular text book, "Planet Earth and the New Geosciences" by
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company. The fourth edition, now in press, is the ultimate guide
for historical geology courses as well as courses in other Earth and planetary science
disciplines.
Fourth edition with two CDROMs, by Victor A. Schmidt and William Harbert approaches the
understanding of historical geology and Earth science by studying the vast stretches
of geologic time. Although the essential processes that have shaped Earth are slow-acting,
all parts of Earth's surface show evidence of profound and numerous changes. Planet Earth
first discusses the dynamics of land, ocean, atmosphere, and climates of Earth, then
applies this knowledge with the studies of other planets and celestial bodies. This
comprehensive guide also addresses issues concerning energy resources, the balance of
nature, and the impact of man.
Third Edition: Kendall/Hunt Publishing, 1998, ISBN 0-7872-7621-9; (pb).
