Summary: Cliffs Physical Geology
Rating: 5
I am always pleased with Cliffs Quick Review books, so I was very pleased with my order.
Summary: A life saver!!
Rating: 5
I used these notes in PLACE of taking physical geology. I needed a final science class to graduate, and the only one available was Historical Geology, which had the prerequisite of physical geology. These Cliff's Notes are so thorough and easy to understand that I felt well prepared for the class, despite the fact that I had no experience in Geology whatsoever. I am not very good in science of any kind, and these notes were easy for even me to use:) I felt comfortable enough with the material presented in the notes to apply it in an entirely different class. I'm sure these would fantastic review notes for students in physical geology!
Summary: Excellent: concise, but very detailed!
Rating: 5
This book is an excellent means for studying and an excellent way to review for tests. It gives the reader a very detailed description of every geological aspect that should be discussed in an entry-level course. I highly recommend this guide for all students who have a class in physical geology, or who just want to learn more about the science of it.
