Everything you need to know about geology,

This review is from: Geology (Golden Guide) (Paperback)
This book is smaller than probably any other earth science book, but I've learned more from it than any other. This Golden Guide includes detailed information about things everyone should know, and it has easy reference of tables and diagrams like the geologic time scale and different types of rocks and volcanoes. I would definitely recommend this book. It's a great review of geology, and very helpful in preparing for science tournaments.

This book is small but packed with information. Useful for the student and for reference. Maybe a bit expensive.
