I and many others have been falsely pertuating the myth that Freeze and Cherry is THE coursebook for serious hydrogeologists. Well, the time has come to debunk that myth. After you pick up a copy of Charlie Fitts text, Groundwater Science, "mirror, mirror on the wall will reveal who has the best groundwater science text of all, and it ain't FnC."

For those non-risk takers out there, just browse on over to the publisher's companion website and read the first chapter and the first couple of pages of all the book for yourself. While you are there you see published reviews of this book and a whole lot of stuff to make instructors happy, like 100 book illustrations on powerpoint and the complete solutions manual. Of course, these are ONLY for instructors and students aren't savvy enuf to find them by themselves. If you don't think this is THE Best textbook on GW Science, go ahead and do your own review. And by the way, it is a lot cheaper than anything else out there, so you can feel good about keeping some $ in your students' pockets.

This book is easy to read and provides a great introduction to groundwater science. Charlie is my teacher, we use his book, he is very open to suggestions and is coming out with another addition soon. The text is readable and has a good balance of introduction to a subject, the math of the subject from an geology and engineering perspective, and case studies of the topic. I recommend this book for groundwater.
