This review is from: GEODe II: Geologic Explorations on Disk (CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)

Although this book is full of information, it is a very dry read. The content is lacking anything that would keep attention after a few minutes. Even with the dry lecture, pictures and diagrams are excellent in this book, and help to grasp ahold of the concepts. The CD Rom is a big help, but can't replace the information within the book. Overall, it is a good source of information, and the reading level isn't too difficult.
