Plate tectonics, the unifying theory of geology, is covered very early in the text (Chapter 2) and integrated throughout. The Earth Systems approach is a fully integrated theme of the text, beginning in Chapter 1, "In The Beginning and Now," and continuing throughout the book. The state-of-the-art illustration program, intuitive as well as beautiful, with rich descriptive captions, furthers the text's enduring goal to tell a story, rather than provide a collection of facts. A number of illustrations pair photographs and maps with schematics, giving students a context for visualizing geologic phenomena.
