Enhanced Art Slides
Prepared by Ron Parker of Fronterra Geosciences, these slides take the book’s narrative art and photographs and adapt them to the PowerPoint environment. Images are properly sized for presentation, related sets of images are delivered on sequenced slides, and labeling has been streamlined so it doesn’t clutter the screen. Supplemental photographs have been added where appropriate, and animations are embedded within the lecture slides as MPEG videos.
