5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect text for a 101 class
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI used this book for my Physical Geology (GS101) class and it has just the right amount of visuals (photos, graphs, diagrams, etc.) for the content of the text. If your professor has a difficult time getting the information inside your head, this book will help you immensely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, well illustrated and comprehensive
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI found this textbook very informative. Went beyond simply giving the facts. All ideas and concepts were related to actual examples and were illustrated well. I understand many of the earth phenomena much better after using it.
Highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Text at a reasonable price, and physical quality was just fine.
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThe book in terms of cleanliness was 4/5. The prior owner highlighted a few of the front few pages and wrote in pen, the kind of highlights that had no relevance or were really bad pen lines. Overall, I'm glad it was only a few pages.
The book in course knowledge is absolutely great, I really do love the quality of the illustrations in detail and the words aren't so dense that you have to look up everything, topics/focuses are thoroughly separated and explained. Key concepts are highlighted and specific geography terms are put in it for you.
I've had this book for about a year now and I travel with it only when I NEED to for heavy studying, yet it's one of the lightest texts I've ever had so you should be okay with traveling but not all the time. And the corners are beginning to fray a bit the papers are quite easy to possibly leave a hand there too long making the paper get a bit moist and crinkle the pages for example.
If you need this for a course this source is good for this text, as an Environmental Studies major though it's helped me a lot with the foundations of Physical Geography which I'll be needing later in my major and career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Environmental Science course
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI bought this for a college course in Environmental Science. There are a lot of really nice graphics and the text is recent, on point, and a great addition to the course material. I have no complaints yet.
