Look for it in a used bookstore,
By A Customer
This review is from: Environmental Geology (Paperback)
The book explains very basic environmental terms and concepts fairly well. The information is very clear and the wording concise. It does a good job of getting some general themes across. However, I would definitely not pay full price for a book such as this. Look for it in a used book store.

Good Content, but Still Horribly Over-priced,
This review is from: Environmental Geology (Paperback)
Generally, I found this book to be clear and well-written. The illustrations are great and the topics covered are all very interesting. The problem with the book is that the physical craftmanship is terrible. For a book sold at this price (170.00 new), I would expect to be purchasing a durable, well-bound, hardcover book. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the inside cover states it is a hardcover and Amazon lists the ISBN as a hardcover, it is in fact, a paperback. What's more, it is a poorly constructed paperback. McGraw-Hill, is the publisher, and I feel they should be ashamed to distribute such a product - particularly at such an absurd price. I understand that publishers need to charge more for college textbooks in order to make a reasonable profit, but $170.00 for this book is almost criminal.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Environmental Geology (Hardcover)
The book wasn't what I want it, neither what I expected. The book was dirty inside and outside, it wasn't even the edition that I ask for.
