Fantastic...

As an earth and space science student teacher, I look for material that I can pass off to my class of middle school students. I use this text to augment THEIR text and my lesson plans. This book is a must for any type of earth science enthusiast. The articles and chapters are easily read and understood, and the diagrams are works of art. BRAVO!
