Physical Anthropology"
5th edition
Linda D. Wolfe, East Carolina University

Dale L. Hutchinson, East Carolina University
ISBN: 0-89892-179-1, Shrink-wrapped loose pages
This is a combination textbook and workbook for
laboratory classes in biological or physical anthropology. It has
been updated and written so that it can be used in 1) laboratory
classes that are part of an introductory course in biological
anthropology or 2) as a combination textbook/ laboratory workbook
for an independent (either lower or upper division) laboratory
course in biological anthropology. The intent is to provide the
student with assignments and laboratory exercises that aid in
understanding and acquiring the research skills employed by
biological anthropologists.

Exercises in Historical Geology" 4th Edition
Robert A. Gastaldo, Colby College
Charles E. Savrda, Auburn University
Ronald D. Lewis, Auburn University
ISBN: 0-89892-316-6, Shrink-wrapped loose pages
This lab manual consists of exercises that are
both traditional and contemporary in approach. Traditional exercises
provide the foundations of our reading of earth history, while
contemporary approaches include small projects designed to
demonstrate the trends on Earth over long intervals of time. DEH
also features eight pages of color images early in the book that
demonstrate basic sedimentary rock types, the primary
sedimentological structures most commonly found in the rock record,
and the environments in which both the rocks and structures form.
Also included are color maps from the USGS.

"Physical Science Laboratory Manual-Fourth Edition"
Russell A. Roy, Van Dubolsky, Greg Mead, Mike Patrick. Santa Fe Community College
ISBN: 0-89892-367-0
This workbook contains exercises and laboratory
activities for use in general education physical science courses.
The exercises help to develop specific skills such as converting
units. The "Hands On" activities are laboratories designed to be
done in one 50 minute period. The activities do not require high
level mathematics; arithmetic and very simple algebra are used, so
the students get some of the flavor of scientific experimentation
more easily.
