Same as new edition,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Earth Science (Hardcover)
I bought the old edition for only $10 while everyone else in my class bought the new edition for $130. There isn't really a difference in the editions. The review questions are all the same. All they did was add a couple new "HD" pictures. The other different thing is the new edition moves chapter 8 to chapter 7. So all they did was flip flop two chapters. Then comes the cd that comes with it. The cd in this edition only works on your computer as it is a cd rom, the one with comes with the new edition is a dvd, so it works with everything. So overall, you can see the differences are very small. If ever you need this book do yourself a favor and save at least $100 buying this edition instead of the new edition.

Buy 11th Edition instead of 12th edition,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Earth Science (Hardcover)
I purchased the 11th edition for a class the required the 12th edition. The newer edition was so much more expensive. I began to sweat on the first day of class when the professor stated "No substitutions, no exception." Then he assigned the questions at the end of the chapter as homework... More sweating. However, the book is nearly identical to 12th edition. Even the review questions at the end of the chapter are the same. Items to note that are different:11th edition has a cd that will only play in your computer, where as 12th edition has an interactive dvd. Chapter 7 and chapter 8 are flip-flopped. 11th edition has more pictures than the 12th edition, so sometimes I was a page or two behind in page numbers. Highly recommend buying the 11th edition instead of the 12th in this instance... I hate when textbooks come out with new editions costing students more money, but make no real improvements!
