If you have any interest in earth science, you will like it. Aug 24, Hildur rated it it was amazing Shelves: science , own , books-read-in Really good. The book is abundant with great illustrations that explain concepts very clearly. Marshak often uses stories from real life as examples of geological phenomenons like with Pompeii of course and the interesting story of the Lake Nyos disaster.
The boo Really good. The book tells you where to look if you want to learn more about some of the subjects online, which is definitely giving something extra for the students although this is not a part I took advantage of.
May 26, Grace rated it it was amazing Shelves: science , earth-science. I've only read the first pages so far. I picked it up to help me understand the recent scary swarm of earthquakes near my LA home. It's an introductory geology text aimed at advanced HS or lower division college students. The book is very lucid, well-written and illustrated. Actually, the book explains concepts twice; once in words and then again in pictures with captions.
It works for both left and right-brained people. Now I finally understand plate tectonics and sea floor spreading. I thin I've only read the first pages so far.
I think that DH has to take me back to Hawaii for more field research on volcanoes and coral reefs. Sep 15, Alyssa rated it liked it. I'm excited about this course aside from the fact that millions and billions of years will be mentioned. I feel like I want to take the class, and then research the Creationist standpoint and then write a paper for my teacher, even though I'm not required write one.
It was very informative and helpful although we completely skipped over the whole section about soils. It's crazy to believe that I'm excited about this course aside from the fact that millions and billions of years will be mentioned. It's crazy to believe that less than 4 decades ago, people didn't know that the earth moved on tectonic plates!
Aug 06, Sami rated it it was amazing. Ah, let's see how I'd put this.. I know how strange that sounds, yet it was like reading a novel, except everything was real. Did I just have a book boner?

In college, it was the first textbook that I enjoyed reading and that I found engaging. If it were not for this book I might not have found my niche in the geology department at my school.
