Caracteristici

  • A student-centered writing style weaves real-world examples and applications into the text to capture students' attention and give them context.
  •  The powerful media package includes a comprehensive suite of award-winning interactive online tutorials that offer students 24/7 help. A media grid in the front of the text shows at a glance the wealth of media available for students and professors, chapter by chapter–from in-class presentation tools to out-of-class, online learning aids.
  • Media Icons throughout the text direct students to online, award-winning interactive tutorials that further explain key concepts.
  •  Engaging art makes rigorous scientific concepts less intimidating and easier to grasp. 
  • Link To boxes interspersed throughout the chapters connect key concepts to everyday life experiences and promote discussion of relevant topics like the environment and geology.

Caracteristici noi

  • Media icons have been added for interactive figures, tutorials, and videos throughout the text. Interactive Figure icons appear in the caption of each figure with an online version; tutorial and video icons are placed in the margin near the section of text they relate to. A full list of media is provided at the end of each chapter for a quick reference.
  • Interactive Figures ™help students enhance their understanding of the major concepts in physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy by manipulating time, orientation, scale, and other parameters.
  • An expanded library of Interactive Tutorials guides students step-by-step through key concepts and processes, engaging them to actively participate in learning. Students can use these tutorials for self-assessment, or instructors can assign select tutorials for homework using the Gradebook feature on The Physical Science Place website. 
  • Fun and informative videos created by the author team can be used by students at home for self-study or by instructors during lecture. Additional astronomy video clips are also provided from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series.
  • Approximately ten new Interactive Figures are included, covering topics that students often struggle with.
  • An updated art program and design makes the book more appealing to today’s professors and students, while maintaining approachability.
  • Content has been refreshed to make the book more relevant to today’s students and to show how major concepts in each realm of science connect to one another and students’ everyday lives. The Lab Manual and Practice Book have similarly been refreshed.
  • Problem Rating System has been added to the end-of-chapter problem sets to meet varied course needs. Beginner level problems are easy; Intermediate level problems require critical thinking; Expert level problems require critical thinking and quantitative problem solving.
  • Optional quantitative content is included for courses that meet mathematical requirements.
  • New PowerPoint®Lectures and Clicker Questions have been developed to make preparing for lecture even easier! Lecture Outlines include an overview of key concepts, plus figures and photos from the book, and are customizable to meet the needs of every course. Clicker Questions can be used with PRS systems or without, and are a great tool for actively engaging students with the material during lecture.
  • Part Three, Earth and Space Science, is divided into two parts: Part Three is now Earth Science and Meteorology and Part Four is now Astronomy.
  • Readiness Assurance Tests at the end of each chapter function as signposts for the student to assess their grasp of important concepts.
