Interesting and Easy to Understand,
By J C (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology (8th Edition) (Paperback)
This is a great textbook for anyone who wants to learn more about Geology. It presents complex ideas in an easy to understand format. I bought this for a college course two years ago and I liked it so much that I still have it.

OK I'm a new to geology. I am amazed to think about the many geologic formations that exsist. The book is a college level book that is both informative and enjoyable to read. It also makes you think. I'm glad I bought the book (yes - I'm cheap I got it used) but I will probably read it twice. Highly recommended for the newbee.
This is not a field guide or a rock ID book but an honest to goodness college level introductory text to introduce physical geology.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Very informative. I took the class to go along with it so learning the content came very easy, but it is arranged very clearly. Beautiful pictures. If you want to learn geology and know nothing or very little, this is a great starters textbook.
