This is a Great Book!!!,
By
This review is from: Essentials of Physical Geography (Hardcover)
I read this book while my son was using it for a Physical Geography class at a local community college. I have been a flight instructor for 25 years, and this book actually clarified a lot of the weather and geography facts that I have been teaching for years. I wish I had had this text 20 years ago to clarify these terms and theories. I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in learning physical geography.

Only If You Must,
By Elyon (Mesilla, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Physical Geography (Hardcover)
This is a textbook to read only if required for a class, and even then you might suggest your instructor consider using another text. Very generalized, rather dry, and often unclear work, at times verging towards being obscure and confusing, which I assume is due to either poor technical editing, or a general inability on the part of the authors to express their knowledge in print. The chapter explaining the earth's revolution and rotation in particular seems unnecessarily vague and unhelpful, and the book in general is filled with facts with little supporting explication as to the whys and wherefores of the information being provided. If you are looking for a book that will help you to understand the principles of physical geography, this is not it. Must wonder whether my professor has recently even read this current edition. . .
