There are good explanations in this book but there are several contradictions and
some poorly organised chapters. I had to refer to other texts in order to unravel
several confusing issues.
A disappointing read for my introduction to geology; I would suggest a more appropriate publication to be 'Teach Yourself Geology'.

Great For Newbies!
22 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a great book for beginners. I am trying to learn about Earth Science and this book is great! I like that I can quiz myself and, in needed, review what I need to work on. The best part of all: I can learn at my own pace! The only thing is there is is misprint in this book. It says that Mount St. Helens in in Oregon. Nope. It's in Washington State! OOPS! But none-the-less, a great book! I have also read other books in this series. Alternitave Energy, Enviromental Science, & Meterology. All are excellent! Great for self-study!

A Great Way to Explore Science
20 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
This is a great book for an adult to get reacquainted with science. The writing is first-rate and easy to understand. Science has changed a lot since I was in school and I feel a lot more current about the world in which I live and how it functions thanks to this book. This book is a must-have for anyone, young or old, who isn't an expert in science but values or has a need to know. Good writing, helpful sidebars, and I passed most of the tests! Nice work, Dr. Williams.
