4.7/5.0 (3)

Ideal for undergraduates with little or no science background, Earth Science is a student-friendly overview of our physical environment that offers balanced, up-to-date coverage of geology, oceanography, astronomy, and meteorology. The authors focus on readability, with clear, example-driven explanations of concepts and events. The Thirteenth Edition incorporates a new active learning approach, a fully updated visual program, and is available for the first time with MasteringGeology, the most complete, easy-to-use, engaging tutorial and assessment tool available, and also entirely new to the Earth science course.

Tarbuck is an apt introductory textbook for those with minimal experience. While its writing is more simplistic than comparable introductory earth science textbooks (namely Marshak), it covers a breadth of topics unseen elsewhere. For those seeking a survey of all areas of Earth science, this may be an ideal starting point.
