bufiegee said Excellent book, very readable. i ordered this book for our library and have been very impressed with it. Relatively easy to understand and good illustrations, though I do wish the pictures of geological formations were real and in color instead of drawn. Great info about how our earth is a constantly changing environment. Makes my life feel so much shorter!. "Five Stars" according to Justin. Great book. Wonderful illustrations and easily grasped by students and professionals alike.. Amazon Customer said Good for Geologic Insight for the Lay Person. This book is an accessible approach to what can be a very technical subject.
