About this title

From the Back Cover:

Key Benefit: A straightforward, non-technical presentation of material is only part of the appeal offered by the latest edition of the best-selling Earth by Ed Tarbuck and Fred Lutgens. The book also presents carefully crafted illustrations by Dennis Tasa that are geologically accurate and visually appealing, and coverage of the most recent geologic events. Key Topics: Fascinating coverage including: the floods that devastated Grand Forks, ND and other parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba; earthquake prediction; geothermal energy; the environmental effects of burning fossil fuel; planetary geology, and so much more. Market: An ideal book for those interested in physical geology, but have little background in this area.
