Visualizing geology / Визуализация геологии

Wiley Visualizing is based on decades of research on the use of visuals in learning (Mayer, 2005).1 The visuals teach key concepts and are pedagogically designed to explain, present, and organize new information. The figures are tightly integrated with accompanying text; the visuals are conceived with the text in ways that clarify and reinforce major concepts while allowing students to understand the details.
This commitment to distinctive and consistent visual pedagogy sets Wiley Visualizing apart from other textbooks. The texts offer an array of remarkable photographs, maps, media, and film from photo collections around the world, including those of National Geographic. Wiley Visualizing’s images are not decorative; such images can be distracting to students. Instead, they are purposeful and the primary driver of the content. These authentic materials immerse the student in real-life issues and experiences and support thinking, comprehension, and application.
Together these elements deliver a level of rigor in ways that maximize student learning and involvement. Wiley Visualizinghas been proven to increase student learning through its unique combination of text, photographs, and illustrations, with online video, animations, simulations, and assessments.  <...>
