DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Good book. "Great Text on Envromental Geography" according to Bookasuarus Rex. It is not often that I find a textbook I enjoy. They tend to be rather dry, and not in a humorous way. That is why I am so impressed with this book. I found it to be an engaging and interesting text which peaked my interest in the whole field of geology. Of course, I noticed that another review found it a dry read, which just goes to show you that like beauty, reading is in the eye of the beholder.This text takes an "ea. "text book" according to Natalie Deming. I had to get this as a text book for school. I would not have purchased this for pleasure. I just needed it for class.
Suitable for introductory environmental and physical geology courses, Environmental Geology is the only available geology textbook conceived and written from an Earth system science perspective--an approach that helps students comprehend and appreciate the Earth's varied environments and the whole-Earth systems that connect them. Arranged in four parts, the book moves from general concepts to individual solid and fluid Earth systems to global environmental change.
