<p>Stephen Reynolds, author of the highly successful <i>Exploring Geology</i>, brings his ground-breaking, visually spectacular approach to <i>Exploring Physical Geography</i>. Intended for an introductory geography course, such as Physical Geography, Reynolds <i> Exploring Physical Geography</i> promotes inquiry and science as an active process. It encourages student curiosity and aims to activate existing student knowledge by posing the title of every two-page spread and every subsection as a question. In addition, questions are dispersed throughout the book. Integrated into the book are opportunities for students to observe patterns, features, and examples before the underlying concepts are explained. That is, we employ a <i>learning-cycle approach</i> where student exploration precedes the introduction of geographic terms and the application of knowledge to a new situation. </p>
<p><i>Exploring Physical Geography</i> introduces terms after students have an opportunity to observe the feature or concept that is being named. This approach is consistent with several educational philosophies, including a learning cycle and just-in-time teaching. Research on learning cycles shows that students are more likely to retain a term if they already have a mental image of the thing being named (Lawson, 2003). Also, the figure-based approach in this book allows terms to be introduced in their context rather than as a definition that is detached from a visual representation of the term. We introduce new terms in italics rather than in boldface, because boldfaced terms on a textbook page cause students to immediately focus mostly on the terms, rather than build an understanding of the concepts. </p>
<p>Featuring more than 2,500 photographs and illustration, <i>Exploring Physical Geography</i> engages students with strong visuals, unique two-page spreads, and <i>Before You Leave This Page</i> objectives.</p>
