多羅萬象的地球科學知識，圖表內文寫的簡單易懂，但就是教科書的模式

It’s a textbook and can sometimes be dry like a lot of textbooks but I learned a lot and for the most part enjoyed what I was reading.

I do not like science.

My teacher made it easy to understand not the textbook

This was an informative book that nicely complimented the science class I was taking. It went along with the lectures and explained things in more detail. It had nice illustrations and tables and charts to break components down even further. Each chapter also included a list of terms you needed to know as well as a summary of that chapter. I liked it, but I didn't read all of it. I'd recommend if you needed it for class.

Book used for my earth science class. It's kinda interesting if you're into science...which i'm not! :)

Too much information crammed into one book. This would be better as separate books or perhaps with more depth in the individual chapters.
But, this is true of most textbooks.

Read somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of the book.
