Product Description
Environmental Geology, eighth edition, presents the student with a broad overview of environmental geology. The text looks both at how the earth developed into its present condition and where matters seem to be moving for the future.

not the right book October 5, 2008
this company sent me the wrong book, but realized it before i received the wrong one, so they corrected it and gave me a discount. the whole experience was still not good, but they made it right.
 Good Content, but Still Horribly Over-priced June 3, 2008

Generally, I found this book to be clear and well-written. The illustrations are great and the topics covered are all very interesting. The problem with the book is that the physical craftmanship is terrible. For a book sold at this price (170.00 new), I would expect to be purchasing a durable, well-bound, hardcover book. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the inside cover states it is a hardcover and Amazon lists the ISBN as a hardcover, it is in fact, a paperback. What's more, it is a poorly constructed paperback. McGraw-Hill, is the publisher, and I feel they should be ashamed to distribute such a product - particularly at such an absurd price. I understand that publishers need to charge more for college textbooks in order to make a reasonable profit, but $170.00 for this book is almost criminal.

There were a few gliches, but they were taken care of beyond my expectations
Look for it in a used bookstore July 29, 1999

The book explains very basic environmental terms and concepts fairly well. The information is very clear and the wording concise. It does a good job of getting some general themes across. However, I would definitely not pay full price for a book such as this. Look for it in a used book store.
