This book is very factual. I like its informative pictures and symbols.

It doesn't surprise me it looks like the same thing as what I saw in middle school, since it says that this book was published around then. I guess rocks haven't changed ever since then.

This is my MS Science series book and while good reads does not have the older version after some research they are both identical just with some updated pictures. I didn't really like this book and I am not sure I can recommend it for a middle school student simply because it is way too advanced for students of that age group. This belongs in a upper level high school classroom or even possibly a college. The pictures are very high definition and a nice touch but it is also very technical and I even found one spelling error. I am not sure what the other books in this series are like and maybe its partly because I am not an expert on volcanoes but after reading middle school earth science books I feel this is much too scientific. I really wish they had a set definition and vocabulary section instead of just assuming the reader knows about the information. Great high school level book but in my opinion a poor choice for middle school. 3 stars max.
