I fell in love; geology is now my major. This books is awesome. It has everything you need to know about the basics of geology-- includes earth systems, some basic astronomy, basic oceanography, climatology, etc. and is a fantastic resource. It also helps to have a wonderful teacher, but you can get everything you need from this book if your teacher isn't fantastic. I loved this course so much, I found myself missing it after the quarter ended-- so I changed my major! Hopefully you enjoy it as well, you'll learn a lot and the writing is informative without being dry or boring.Great Into to Geology This is an excellent and easy-to-read introduction to geology. The illustrations and diagrams are outstanding, and almost every concept discussed in the text is fully illustrated. Sometimes the explanations were a little vague or terms were used before being defined, but compensating for that are a very good glossary and index. The discussions of plate tectonics and rock formation are especially good.It's so fascinating and I'm learning amazing things. Missing a certain amount because it's very ... It's so fascinating and I'm learning amazing things. Missing a certain amount because it's very complicated. That doesn't turn me off though
