[Margherita Bruscolini · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perfect book for everyone that would like to know more about our Earth and how it works in all its components: lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, criosphere and hydrosphere.
It's easy to understand and interesting!

This was a book I had to read for my Geology course. I loved it, though. Understanding the Earth is fun!

უფრო პოპულარული სამეცნიერო ლიტერატურის პონტში ვიყიდე, მაგრამ რეალურად გეოლოგიის სახელმძღვანელო აღმოცნდა... ძალიან კარგი სახელმძღვანელო! პატარა მინუსია, რომ ძირითადი აქცენტი ამერიკაზეა, თუმცა მთლიანობაში ეს არ აფუჭებს წიგნს.

LOVE this book! Very Good introduction to geology, focuses quite heavily on tectonic plates :/ but overall very great for learning. The ancient history of earth is EXTREMELY fascinating!!

Informative and inspiring

[Kiise · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved how this book was put together, it was easy to understand and everything was explained very well. Each chapter has exercises, a list of keywords and "thought questions", which were all helpful and interesting. I'm glad that this book was chosen as my geology course textbook.

His writing isn't direct and although it may appeal to those of us with a strong background in science as a refresher it isn't that great as the intro book it's used for.
