Take a unique look at the Earth as you examine its natural processes, complex systems and the reciprocal relationship between people and Earth’s natural environment. Written by three of today's most respected geographers, Petersen/Sack/Gabler’s PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, 12E introduces geography from three perspectives: as a physical science, a spatial science and an environmental science. A reader-friendly presentation demonstrates the processes and interactions among Earth’s systems and emphasizes environmental sustainability -- highlighting how natural systems are affected by human activities and how natural processes impact human lives. Updated, compelling visuals illustrate concepts with vivid photos, helpful figures and information-rich maps. This edition also explores dynamic areas of the Earth, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, and examines the latest digital and drone technologies used in geographical research. MindTap digital tools and videos are available to assist in review. Read More

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, Eleventh Edition, uses the combined expertise of three accomplished and respected geographers to show not only what constitutes physical geography but also the interrelationships between people and Earth’s natural environment. The well-written text and excellent illustrations emphasize three essential themes to demonstrate the major roles of the discipline -- Geography as Physical Science, Geography as Spatial Science, and Geography as Environmental Science. With a strong focus on processes and the interrelationships among Earth’s systems, this text guides you to an understanding and appreciation of how the various natural systems function and of how humans are an integral component of physical geography. Historically, this was the first Physical Geography textbook to take an environmental sustainability approach, and the authors continue to address the theme of human interactions with the environment.
