Wicander and Monroe's HISTORICAL GEOLOGY offers comprehensive content for the historical geology course and provides you with an understanding of the principles of historical geology and how these principles are applied in unraveling Earth's history. You will learn and understand the underlying causes of why things happened and the way they did, and how all of Earth's systems and subsystems are interrelated. You will understand the relevancy of Earth's history as part of a dynamic and complex integrated system, not as a series of isolated and unrelated events.
