5.0 out of 5 stars A great book covering everything, July 30, 2001

By	J. Gittins "chemistry student" (Pinconning ,MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Earth Science (9th Edition) (Hardcover)

This textbook is one of the best scientific books I have seen. Not only does it cover earth science (like geology), but astronomy and meteorology also. It covers every topic that you possibly want to know about. The authors leave no information out. I had to use this for Science Olympiad, and it helped me so much. The explanations are great, the images beautiful, and the diagrams very helpful. I would suggest this for anyone that has an interest in Earth Science or Meteorology. It is a great book.
