Laboratory manual in physical geology / Пособие по лабораторным занятиям по общей геологии

Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology is the most widely adopted, user-friendly manual available for teaching laboratories in introductory geology and geoscience. The manual has been produced under the auspices of the American Geological Institute (AG1) and the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT). It is backed up by an Internet site, GeoTools (ruler, protractor, UTM grids, sediment grain size scale, etc.), Instructor Resource Guide, Instructor Transparency Set, and an Instructor Resource Center (IRC) on CD-ROM.
The idea for such a jointly sponsored laboratory manual was proffered by Robert W. Ridky (past president of NAGT and a member of the AGI Education Advisory Committee), who envisioned a manual made up of the "best laboratory investigations written by geology teachers." To that end, this product is the 20-year evolution of the cumulative ideas of more than 170 contributing authors, faculty peer reviewers, and students and faculty who have used past editions. Undergraduate students have field tested all parts of this seventh edition and helped make it the most student-friendly edition ever. <...>
