DESCRIPTION: Stephen Reynolds, author of the highly successful "Exploring Geology", brings his ground-breaking, visually spectacular approach to "Exploring Physical Geography". Intended for an introductory geography course, such as Physical Geography, Reynolds "Exploring Physical Geography" promotes inquiry and science as an active process. It encourages student curiosity and aims to activate existing student knowledge by posing the title of every two-page spread and every subsection as a question. In addition, questions are dispersed throughout the book. Integrated into the book are opportunities for students to observe patterns, features, and examples before the underlying concepts are explained. That is, we employ a learning-cycle approach where student exploration precedes the introduction of geographic terms and the application of knowledge to a new situation.

Featuring more than 2,500 photographs and illustration, "Exploring Physical Geography" engages students with strong visuals, unique two-page spreads, and Before You Leave This Page objectives.
