 Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology August 8, 2006

Publishers are driving me nuts with their inflated prices...they made a small number of edition #6 which was considered their best one and then let their supplies run out so that schools would have to buy their "new" one. After flipping through it, it is clear that it is nearly identical to the sixth edition lab manual. Such a waste.

I found this manual to be straightforward in its instructions and logically ordered in its activities. It also has a nice section for identifying different rocks and minerals.
Thank you July 24, 2008

I was concerned because this book was used & included a CD. It was in very good shape and the CD was unopened. Thank you!
the title is kind of lying September 19, 2008

I bought this book for my Geol 110 class at the University of Maryland in College Park. It's completely unlike every other lab manual I've used in college. It does not directly relate to the lab project, its more like a textbook or information packet to prepare you for the concepts you'll cover in lab. It has glossy pages instead of the usual paper so I'm discouraged from writing notes and lab findings in it. I feel like we probably could have gotten this information out of our normal textbook rather than buying a separate lab manual.
 Because they asked me to November 3, 2006

I bought this book for school, since my school was out of the book and this one was cheaper. It does the job, it is probably less expensive than your school, and you can't get a used one because usually some of the pages you need are missing.
