Good Book

I had to return the book, but it took a while to go through the process.

Very fast delivery, honestly described

This product was a used textbook. It was delivered super fastand accurately described. I was not expecting the book to be in great condition, but was pleasantly suprised. For an old edition, this book was in much better condition then I thought it would be.

Great Job

Thank you so much for your swift delivery, I would recommend this seller to everyone! Thanks again

Amazing geologist!

I had Chernicoff as a geology professor at the University of Washington, and we used his book. Not only were his classes fascinating, but his book was fabulous. The way he put it together and explained everything was fantastic; he excells at making those of us foreign to the world of geology interested in the subject (especially undergrads who are taking a geology class because it's required!). Furthermore, he does so in a way that is easily understandable and not at all confusing. He gives countless examples of what he is describing throughout, making the material even more easy to digest. It is easy to tell that he has a passion for what he does; it shows through in his writing. This is a perfect starting place for those interested in geological matters.

A great book that shows that geology isn't a boring science

Mr. Chernicoff has written a book that makes geology look both fun and informative. The book itself is a pretty lengthy but filled with exicting information. Chernicoff is also a pretty good teacher, I recieved a 3.5 in his class.
