商品描述
There is a large and growing need for a textbook that can form the basis for integrated classes that look at minerals, rocks, and other Earth materials. Despite the need, no high-quality book is available for such a course. Earth Materials is a wide-ranging undergraduate textbook that covers all the most important kinds of (inorganic) Earth materials. Besides traditional chapters on minerals and rocks, this book features chapters on sediments and stratigraphy, weathering and soils, water and the hydrosphere, and mineral and energy deposits. Introductions to soil mechanics and rock mechanics are also included.
This book steers away from the model of traditional encyclopedic science textbooks, but rather exposes students to the key and most exciting ideas and information, with an emphasis on thinking about Earth as a system. The book is written in such a manner as to support inquiry, discovery and other forms of active learning. All chapters start with a short topical story or vignette, and the plentiful photographs and other graphics are integrated completely with the text. Earth Materials will be interesting and useful for a wide range of learners, including geoscience students, students taking mineralogy and petrology courses, engineers, and anyone interested in learning more about the Earth as a system.商品描述(中文翻譯)
有一個日益增長的需求，尋找一本可以作為綜合課程基礎的教科書，該課程涵蓋礦物、岩石及其他地球材料。儘管有這樣的需求，目前卻沒有高品質的書籍可供這類課程使用。《地球材料》是一本範圍廣泛的本科教科書，涵蓋所有最重要的（無機）地球材料類型。除了傳統的礦物和岩石章節外，本書還包括沉積物和地層學、風化和土壤、水和水圈以及礦產和能源儲藏的章節。書中還包含土壤力學和岩石力學的介紹。
本書遠離傳統百科全書式的科學教科書模式，而是向學生展示關鍵且最令人興奮的觀念和資訊，強調將地球視為一個系統的思考方式。書中的寫作方式旨在支持探究、發現和其他形式的主動學習。所有章節都以簡短的主題故事或小插曲開始，豐富的照片和其他圖形與文本完全整合。
《地球材料》將對廣泛的學習者群體感興趣且有用，包括地球科學學生、修習礦物學和岩石學課程的學生、工程師以及任何希望進一步了解地球作為一個系統的人。
