Reviews
"The authors present an excellent, progressive history of the development of plate tectonics that students should be able to follow. It is, quite frankly, the best presentation of this topic that I have read in an introductory textbook."--Daniel Hembree, Ohio University"I really like the writing style. It is clear, expository, and also accurate and unambiguous. I actually thought I was reading a textbook written by John McPhee in a few passages, and I cannot think of a higher compliment to pay to the authors."--Stephen D. Lewis, California State University-Fresno"Physical Geology Today is an excellent textbook for introductory courses, because it uses clear language and real-world examples to engage students without oversimplifying big concepts."--Julie Hoover, Durham Technical Community College"The level of writing is perfect for beginning science students. The authors weave the story together well, incorporating bits of information from other chapters in order to promote the 'big' picture."--Stacey Verardo, George Mason University"A visually compelling, easy to access text."--John Van Hoesen, Green Mountain College"The level is appropriate for anybody who actually wants to learn the science of geology. This text enables students to have enough information to develop much needed (and called for) critical thinking skills in the geologic domain."--Scott Brame, Clemson University"This text is well written, easy to follow and interesting for students. These authors clearly know how to make geology interesting."--Tim Bralower, Penn State University"This is first-rate text that brings geology to readers in an accessible and exciting way."--Joachim Dorsch, St. Louis Community College-Meramec"The check your understanding questions and review questions area great features that will help students."--John Creasy, Bates College, "The authors present an excellent, progressive history of the development of plate tectonics that students should be able to follow.

Synopsis
This text presents a clear and conceptual understanding of how Earth works, emphasizing the role of tectonic plates throughout. Using clear, focused, and engaging prose, the authors discuss connections between concepts, processes, and principles in a straightforward manner. The text introduces themes using stunning overview graphics at the beginning of each chapter and features hundreds of meticulously developed figures throughout in order to illustrate ongoing processes and changes over time., Physical Geology Today combines a deep integration of plate tectonics with an emphasis on conceptual understanding in order to paint an integrated picture of how Earth works. Damian Nance and Brendan Murphy blend clear engaging prose with hundreds of meticulously crafted illustrations to tell a clear and accessible geologic story that introduces the right amount of terminology at the right time.
