Visualizing Physical Geography employs uniquely designed visual
pedagogy to help students acquire the skills they need to become better
learners. The 2nd edition has refined and expanded the visuals using
insights from research on student outcomes. The Visualizing approach
uses a variety of research-based visuals to engage students so they
become active participants in the learning process. Visualizing
Physical Geography immerses students in course material through
visuals (both in print and rich multimedia resources) while organizing
complex processes and related course information into easily digestible
segments. Visualizing Physical Geography is a comprehensive,
modern book for today's physical geography course. With current
examples, thorough coverage of geographers' tools and technology, and a
visual design that is accessible without sacrificing content, it is a
title that will appeal to a broad range of instructors. The narrative
and concepts are tightly linked to visual elements, including practical
examples that highlight the relevance of the concepts. Maps are
integrated throughout to help reveal patterns or trends. Divergent views
and critical thinking are emphasized. Photographs and other visuals are
also included to reinforce the concepts.
