Save Up To $275	Oceanography: Exploring Earth's Final Wilderness Professor Harold J. Tobin Discover the wonder, delight, and awe-inspiring majesty of Earth's ocean with Oceanography: Exploring Earth's Final Wilderness. Professor Harold J. Tobin, an ocean scientist who has visited landscapes on the seabed that no human eyes have seen before, takes you on a scientific expedition to fathom the ocean's many mysteries—from its shallowest tidal zone to its deepest depths. Requiring no background in science, these 36 intensively illustrated lectures will give you a thorough appreciation for the ocean as a system arguably more intricate and intriguing than the continents themselves.
Save Up To $275	Nature of Earth: An Introduction to Geology Professor John J. Renton Geology is everywhere. Would you like to know how to read the rocks and landscape, and how to make sense of debates over natural resources? These 36 half-hour lectures introduce you to the study of minerals, rocks, soils, and the processes that operate on them through time. A science that is surprisingly intuitive, accessible, and concrete, geology has the excitement of a never-ending detective story, replete with clues to the complex past, and future, of our planet.
	How the Earth Works Professor Michael E. Wysession The combination of continents, oceans, and atmosphere makes Earth unique among all the planets in the solar system, and perhaps in the galaxy. These features also create the conditions for life in all its diversity. But where did the land, water, and air come from? And how do these systems work together to produce the complex phenomena that are evident everywhere on this beautiful planet? How the Earth Works takes you on an astonishing journey through time and space, from the big bang, to the formation of the solar system, to the subsequent evolution of Earth.
Save Up To $185	Meteorology: An Introduction to the Wonders of the Weather Professor Robert G. Fovell Embark on a fascinating foray into the complex and enthralling field of meteorology: the study of the weather. In the 24 engaging lectures of Meteorology: An Introduction to the Wonders of the Weather, learn about the often surprising, always intriguing interactions that make up our world's climate. Bringing together geography, chemistry, physics, and other scientific disciplines, Professor Robert G. Fovell offers you fresh and illuminating insights into weather of your everyday life.
	Earth's Changing Climate Professor Richard Wolfson This course is your chance to get some of the most up-to-date research on climate change. Earth's Changing Climate explains the concepts, tools, data, and analysis that have led an overwhelming number of climate scientists to conclude that Earth is warming—and the ways in which we humans might be responsible. Whatever your views on climate change, it's important to understand how the current scientific consensus on global warming evolved out of basic physical principles and a broad range of observations. A lucid presentation designed for non-scientists, this course is an invaluable tool for understanding one of the 21st century's most hotly debated issues.
Save Up To $305	Earth at the Crossroads: Understanding the Ecology of a Changing Planet Professor Eric G. Strauss Explore the rich interconnections that make up the great and fascinating web of life on our amazing planet with Earth at the Crossroads: Understanding the Ecology of a Changing Planet. In these compelling 36 lectures, Professor Eric G. Strauss introduces you to the study of ecology and the remarkable forces that shape and affect the world's habitats. As you delve into the biosphere's intricate network of relationships, you'll develop a deeper appreciation of the rich complexity of the life around you.
