This review is from: Physical Geology (Hardcover)
As a beginning geology student, I found this book to be a good start. It is well written and makes all of the concepts easy to understand. Great for learning basic geology.

4.0 out of 5 stars
not the "most distinctive textbook in its class", February 24, 2006
This review is from: Physical Geology (Hardcover)
A nice point about this book is how it gives the reader access to McGraw's website and the online resources that the casual vistor without the book does not have. The blurb on the back cover says it is the "most distinctive textbook in its class". I'm not sure about that. It's certainly well written, accompanied by some gorgeous photos of places with neat geology, like the Grand Canyon. But "Essentials of Geology" by Lutgens et al also goes over basically the same material, as an example of a similar text. No doubt they could also claim that theirs is the most distinctive text.
