    PEARSON INDIA Introduction To Environmental Geology 5Th Edition by KELLER

    This text focuses on helping non-science majors develop an understanding of how geology and humanity interact. Ed Keller—the author who first defined the environmental geology curriculum—focuses on five fundamental concepts of environmental geology: Human Population Growth, Sustainability, Earth as a System, Hazardous Earth Processes, and Scientific Knowledge and Values. These concepts are introduced at the outset of the text, integrated throughout the text, and revisited at the end of each chapter. The Fifth Edition emphasizes currency, which is essential to this dynamic subject, and strengthens Keller's hallmark "Fundamental Concepts of Environmental Geology," unifying the text's diverse topics while applying the concepts to real-world examples. Table of Content "PART ONE Foundations of Environmental Geology Chapter 1 Philosophy and Fundamental Concepts Chapter 2 Internal Structure of Earth and Plate Tectonics Chapter 3 Minerals and Rocks Chapter 4 Ecology and Geology PART TWO Earth Processes and Natural Hazards Chapter 5 Introduction to Natural Hazards Chapter 6 Earthquakes and Related Phenomena Chapter 7 Tsunami (new chapter) Chapter 8 Volcanic Activity Chapter 9 Rivers and Flooding Chapter 10 Slope Processes, Landslides, and Subsidence Chapter 11 Coastal Processes Chapter 12 Impact of Extraterrestrial Objects PART THREE Resources and Pollution Chapter 13 Water Resources Chapter 14 Water Pollution Chapter 15 Mineral Resources Chapter 16 Energy Resources Chapter 17 Soils and Environment PART FOUR Environmental Management, Global Perspective, and Society Chapter 18 Global Climate Change Chapter 19 Geology, Society, and the Future " Salient Features: • Five Fundamental Concepts of Environmental Geology are introduced in Chapter 1 to unify the diverse topics in the text: Human Population Growth, Sustainability, Earth as a System, Hazardous Earth Processes, and Scientific Knowledge and Values.
