A very, very basic introduction to topics regarding Earth Science. Decent for a review or simple introduction to the subject. One of the seeming benefits of this book are the chapter, part, and final exams included. However, the questions are incredibly simple, with often 1/2 or 3/4ths of the potential answers being obviously wrong. There are probably much better books out there for anyone with even a basic comprehension of Earth Science to look into.
