Excellent book for anyone interested in geology. Well written and at an excellent price. Very readable indeed, and with a wealth of practical information in a handy book.

This is a great book. It is dense in that every line has good content, not much filler in this book. The graphics are terrific. It contains highly technical explanation and details if you want them. If you choose, you can skip the details and enjoy the graphics alone and first paragraphs of each subsection to get the gist of what is being discussed. I am so glad I bought this book. I don't care to learn and memorize the all the details but I am glad to have them should I want to know more about any one subjet. The topcs range from basic earth tectonics, land/continent formation to minerals, essential geologic processes and so much more. This is a wonderful book to read. The writing style compliments the generalist as well as the specialist.

The Practical Geologist was great for me! I had a basic knowledge of Geology (some basic books and some earth science classes in middle school) and am very interested in studying Geology when I go back to college. It expanded greatly on my knowledge while remaining simple enough to be easily understood. It teaches a good bit about minerals and their crystal forms, the different types of rocks, plate tectonics, the formation of various structures (sills, mountains, valleys, beaches, dikes, etc.), sedimentology, and teaches you how to do field work/geology (map making, rock collection analysis and documentation). After reading it, I feel that I am able to study the rocks and formations in my area (Chattanooga, Tennessee) and develop a decent understanding of the Geology. It is also well written, and the author inserts humor every now and then.
