Essentials of Geology and GEODe II CD-ROM Package (7th Edition)

A textbook for an undergraduate course that will be the first for students entering the field and the only one in geology for those meeting breadth requirements. Lutgens and Tarbuck (both Illinois Central College) provide a nontechnical survey for people with little background in science. Illustrations are abundant and colorful. Editions from 1982 to 1989 were published by Merill, and the 1992 by Macmillan. The seventh has been thoroughly revised with an eye to keeping topics current and improving the clarity of the discussion, based on feedback from reviewers and students. The disc contains animations, interactive exercises, and enhanced text; it runs under Macintosh or Windows, but not Unix. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
