The book gives clear, concise explanations of each aspect of the environment and atmosphere. The Earth, clouds, oceans and soils are covered. Nice illustrations to better comprehend topics in each chapter.
I wasn't too sure I was getting into the right area of study, but after taking a class that used this text, I'm a lot more confident. It breaks up theories on why the environment is the way it is and how it came to be into well organized chapters and makes them especially clear with ample pictures, tables, and diagrams based on factual examples.I have yet to hear a criticism of these thoeries apart from short, unreferenced, useless reviews, but if it does happen to be fiction, I'd rank it alongside of JRR Tolkien's best. Either way it would make a great 'coffee-table' book.It is also laced near the end of chapters with author commentaries about the human species' inability to avoid poor choices for habitats such as near the sides of unstable mountains or flood-prone land in areas frequented by hurricanes (written prior to 2005), make of that what you will...
Used at Western Washington University in 2010. This class was a general requirement for me so not in my major or area of interest; but the book was fine and helped me pass the class.Like most people, I rely on honest product reviews to make purchase decisions. Because the experience of others has been so helpful to me, I try to provide honest, helpful reviews to assist other shoppers in selecting the right products for them. I hope my review has been helpful to you!
I love for selling textbooks. They are so much cheaper than the campus bookstore. I ended up getting this book for 1/3 of the price the campus bookstore was selling for. The book itself is very informational and gets to the point. I love that it's not too big of a book as some textbooks are quite heavy. The CD-Rom that came with it is awesome too and very informational. I went into this class knowing nothing of this topic and came out feeling like I could be the weather girl for the local news station.
Who doesn't love a hundred something dollar school book that is a fraction of the price and you don't even need to keep? That said, the book was great for the class. Book is in good condition and was interesting to read. I ended up 're ting this book, so so I'm glad I don't have to go all the way down to the school to sell it. Definitely worth it.
This book is fine. Nothing special about it, and there are newer editions out there. However, if your professor allows you to use this textbook instead of the 7th edition, go for it! You will save a lot of money in the process...
Enjoy the unbound edition better than other textbooks. Allows for easy photocopy or scanning of graphics, and you can take out the glossary and index to use as separate quick reference instead of flipping back and forth. The expense of the book was far less and I am probably going to save it as a future reference book because it doesn't cost me nearly as much. The textbook is good, easy to read, and has lots of helpful diagrams.
I ordered and it did come with the access code. I used it a couple times but I would not say it was crucial and it did not really help me with the text. I liked the three-hole-punched idea but a few pages ripped out because it is thin paper. It is a nice idea and helps save money though. Overall I had a great experience with the text. I just do not know what to do with it now since I used the access code.
