A Text EVERYONE Should Read!

I'll keep this simple. It's great for geoscience students. It contains well-put information about our world that EVERYONE should know! It paints an excellent picture of historical geology and general Earth processes. Give it a try!

Earth Systems History

I was looking for a book that was factual and easy to read, I have found it. It is the answer to my questions and makes it possible to learn and enjoy learning

As a text book, it's decent!

Earth System History, Second Edition was my textbook for Geology 1001, and to my surprise I could actually read it without falling asleep. This is not to say that it is a page turner, but the pictures are interesting and Stanley skips a lot of the cheesy textbook speak. I'm not sure I would buy this book if I wasn't required to, but if geology is your thing- it would be great.

It is wonderfull !

Everybody that is interested in historical geology and paleontology must have this book. It is clear with a lot of informations, has beautifull pictures and a fantastic CD ROM. One of the best I bought last year !
