Product Description

Review
As an A Level course textbook, Geoscience has much to recommend it. The level of detail is good and at an appreopriate level, and the case studies are interesting. The British slant to to the illustrative examples is a bonus. (B Oeppen )

Product Description
The text explores the Earth as a complex, active natural phenomenon stressing the interconnections between core geological concepts and emphasizing their importance in human terms.

The clear, concise coverage of the key physical, chemical and biological processes involved in forming the Earth as it is today provides the ideal foundation for those studying at A level. Focusing on the way these systems interact and linking them to present environmental concerns the book offers an accessible introduction to students of Geology, Environmental Science and Earth Science.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great companion to any study of Earth Sciences, 1 April 2002
By A Customer
As an Open University student studying Geology and Plate Tectonics I bought Geoscience as a reference book and have found it an essential reference. It is a great help in additon to my set text books and explains the topics in plain English. I find explanations of complex topics much easier to understand in Geoscience. It has clear and concise text relating to all Earth Science topics and I really wouldn't be without it! A brilliant buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars studying geology., 26 Dec 2004
By Nathan Worgan (Glostershire, cam United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
i was given the book at the begining of my As level geology course. i found it full of useful diagrams and pictures, and the explantaions were simple to understand, which also go into plenty detail. the book gave me all the information i needed. the question are also usful in testing your knowlegde of the subject. if you are studying geology i highly recommend it. It helped me get an A at as level and without it i would have struggled.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wholly inadequate for A-level, 17 Jul 2007
By Mrs. R. Dean (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was given this book to use in my Geology A-level. It is a good introduction to the subject but is wholly inadequate for use at A-level. It goes into very little detail - especially on Palaeontology but also on a lot else. The Petrology section was probably the most useful but still not detailed enough.

I hardly used the book and it is certainly not worth the ridiculous price it is retailing for.
