Elements of Physical Geography

Strahler, Alan H.

John Wiley&Sons

This truly integrated, system-based approach to physical geography is designed for a one or two-semester course in Physical Geography or Earth Systems Science, taught at the First year undergraduate level. Comprehensive in its coverage, this text's inclusion of quantitative concepts should appeal to lecturers and students seeking to incorporate systems-driven approach to teaching this course. Environmental issues of global change are stressed in each chapter, highlighted by a colour bar at the side of the column. Simple quantitative concepts are included in "Working It Out" boxes for those who desire a more quantitative focus. These sections require highschool algebra, and they focus on applications rather than computation. End-of-chapter problems and end-of-book problems are also included. Supplements: Teacher's Manual/Test Bank, Slides, Transparencies, Test Bank

Introducing Physical Geography. Laboratory Manual

Introducing Physical Geography, Updated and Upgraded

This Strahler exercise manual contains over 100 exercises and is cross-referenced to Elements of Physical Geography, Fourth Edition and Modern Physical Gerography. Provides coverage of major text chapters and topics as it emphasizes problem-solving activities that inculcate the scientific method of research. Most exercises require students to analyze and process data from nature to reveal processes of origin and change. New introductory material relates each topic to significant and familiar aspects of everyday life, and also includes references to current events and environmental problems. Geographical relationships are stressed throughout, requiring students to locate on world maps the physical and cultural features referred to in the questions. Tables, graphs, maps and photos are contained within the manual or main text.

Investigating Physical Geography: An Exercise Manual

Modern Physical Geography

This Fourth Edition of a well-established text on physical geography provides rigorous coverage of the topic at the undergraduate level. It includes a full-color art program and increased attention to environmental issues.
