The Chapter in Review section also provides a convenient synopsis of the chapter for study after reading the chapter. The Focus on Learning questions at the beginning of each chapter can be considered to be the main learning objectives for the chapter. In addition, the most important Focus on Learning questions (at the beginning of each chapter), Figures to Study, and Questions for Review for each chapter are also listed. The following study guide is intended to provide a list of the most important concepts and principles (on the left) and (a small number of) key words (on the right) which should be emphasized in reading the chapters of the textbook for EAS 100. The Chapter in Review section at the end of each chapter will also be useful in reviewing the chapter. The most effective way to study the material covered in EAS 100 using the textbook will be to use this Study Guide during your reading and review. Therefore, we suggest that the reader not try to memorize key terms, definitions or details. An example of this detail is the use of key terms (in bold print in the chapters and listed at the end of each chapter) which tend to confuse and divert the reader from developing an understanding of the material based on the significant concepts and principles in the chapters. This detail and terminology is necessary in a textbook in order for the book to be complete, authoritative, and useful as a reference. Despite the quality of this textbook, the reader may "get lost" in the volume of material and in the detailed and extensive terminology that is used in the book and that is somewhat characteristic of these subject areas. The book is of appropriate length for a onesemester course and the authors make an attempt to emphasize and identify fundamental concepts and terms and to illustrate these concepts with relevant and significant examples. It is up-to-date, "readable", has good illustrations and an appropriate treatment of the four subject areas - Earth Science, Oceanography, Atmospheric Science, and Astronomy - which constitute the subject matter for EAS 100.
