Book Reviews of The Practical Geologist: The Introductory Guide to the Basics of Geology and to Collecting and Identifying Rocks
Book Review: essential
Summary: 5 Stars
I use it to introduce students to basic physical geology. It is written at a basic level but the concepts are not oversimplified. The diagrams and text provide just the right amount of information- non- major students are informed but not overwhelmed. The Practical Geologist is a perfect supplement to the historical geology texts, and can serve as an informal and affordably priced lab manual.
