Great For Newbies!

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!

Easy way to Earth Sciences

Good introduction on the topic.The description of different soils is straight forward. The info on topography is detailed and concised. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to brush up or learn more about Earth Sciences.

A Great Way to Explore Science

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.
