 Rating:  - Perfect!!Easy Fast and Perfect! Received my book weeks before expected; this could not have been any easier! PLUS i saved so much! I will never buy another overpriced textbook from a bookstore! Thank you Rating:  - An OK textbook, but oddly organized.As far as geology textbooks go, this one is pretty middle of the road. Most topics are covered in a reasonable amount of detail for an introductory class, but not too much. Many of the concepts are "re-presented" in later chapters as needed (the interior of the earth, for example), but in varying amounts of detail depending on the topic (so the interior of the Earth is described is less detail in the discussion of the geosphere and in more detail in the earthquakes chapter).

It is only 1 hour so I can't use all the content in the book, but, it is an excellent content reference for people who are expected to know and teach more and more content every year. Read this book for your own fun, or, use it as a reader friendly resource with excellent pictures and friendly assignments.
