## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an amazingly good book.
*by R***Y on September 14, 2015*

This is an amazingly good book. It is well-written and up-to-date, covering just about everything in modern Earth and Planetary Science. There are lots of pictures and diagrams, most of which actually help you understand the text.On the first page, the authors state, “We have organized the discussion of geology in this textbook around three basic concepts ... (1) Earth as a system of interacting components, (2) plate tectonics as a unifying theory of geology, and (3) changes in the Earth system through geologic time.”The first 8 chapters (of 23) cover the basics. Beyond that are a number of chapters that are not classical geology (e.g., ch. 9 “Early History of the Terrestrial Planets”, ch. 16 “The Climate System”) and many that are more in-depth treatments of topics introduced earlier (e.g., ch. 16 “Weathering, Erosion, and Mass Wasting”). A good deal of the latter part of the book reads like an Environmental Science text.I have long had an interest in Earth history, plate tectonics, etc. and have read quite a lot but I always felt I lacked a firm geological foundation. This book filled so many holes in my knowledge, including many I never knew I had :)The copy I bought had been used by several students. Interestingly, there was a good deal of highlighting in the first 8 chapters and in chapters 12 & 13 (“Volcanoes” and “Earthquakes”) but nowhere else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The go-to textbook
*by P***E on April 9, 2022*

I got the loose leaf edition. It turned out to be bound. Perfect. The text is easy to comprehend and has lots of good visuals. The book arrived in half the predicted time.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Understanding Earth review
*by S***E on May 27, 2014*

I haven't started reading "Understanding Earth", but found that it arrived in good working order. I hope to take the online course associated with this reading material. The preview was really encouraging and the timely fashion that this book arrived in will keep me considering amazon for my scholastic needs.
