It needs to be started at the beginning because each chapter builds upon what you have learned in previous chapters. Being a novice I find it to be quite compelling in simplicity, and not taking for granted things assuming I already know that no assumptions here!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this book for a required class and have enjoyed its very accurate and descriptive pictures. They are well labeled and easy to follow and to learn from. Since my geology class is online, I have had to teach myself somewhat, and this has been the perfect book to do so. It includes recent geological events such as the tsunami of 2004 and much information specific to the USA. I have enjoyed reading nearly every chapter (my class is almost done).
