The Atmosphere: Pearson New International Edition - Frederick K. Lutgens

Thanks to a mounting interest in climate change and severe weather phenomena meteorology courses are increasingly popular among today's students - particularly in general education versions of the course where rapid advances in visualization tools and technologies like GIS have greatly expanded the teacher's toolkit. The Atmosphere: An Introduction to Meteorology remains the standard introduction in its field reinforcing basic concepts with everyday easy-to-grasp examples. This revision retains the hallmarks professors have come to expect from Tarbuck and Lutgens: a friendly largely non-technical narrative timely coverage of recent atmospheric events and carefully crafted artwork by leading science illustrator Dennis Tasa. The Twelfth Edition maintains a student-friendly approach while evolving to address various course challenges and trends. Current digital visualization and assessment tools are now available on MyMeteorologyLab a new resource that both encourages student self-study and enables instructors to manage their courses online with customizable assessments for students. Each chapter in this revision is organized by a new active learning path to help guide and engage non-science majors. A greater focus on popular and increasingly important Severe & Hazardous Weather applications new critical visual analysis Eye on the Atmosphere features as well as new discussions of the real-world career opportunities of meteorology with Professional Profile essays make the science both relevant and exciting.
