Kindle version- bad. *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018* As a paleontologist I can say that this is a really good introductory geology college level textbook. My one star rank only applies to the Kindle version, which is very difficult to read. Amazon says the Kindle 11th edition was "Published April 9, 2018" but the print version of the 11th edition states a 2012 copyright.The Kindle version appears to be series of whole page .gif images. Each page displays showing tiny text, so you have to enlarge the entire displayed page, one page at a time, and slide the page left/right and up/down in order to read anything. This can be done on, I think, all Kindles phones and PC Kindle readers, but the process is very cumbersome. You cannot do any of the usual Kindle manipulations such as changing fonts, or font size or line spacing or words per line. Text to speech doesn't work. You can't look up individual words in the Kindle dictionary. No underlining or highlighting part of the text. You can't search the book for particular words or phrases. You can make bookmarks and notes but these only link to entire book pages. The inability to just press "next page" to read and read and read without having to do all sorts of complex maneuvering will make the Kindle version useless to many students.The $10 price to buy or free for kindleunlimited prices are real bargains if you don't mind loosing the ability to do most the usual Kindle stuff with the text. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Textbook, Easy to Use *by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2013* As a student in my first geology course, I find this book amazingly helpful. It is laid out well, the material interestingly presented, the writing style clear and concise. Technical terms are explained and concepts unpacked carefully. Best of all, the author tells the reader what to look for and reviews with "concept checks" the material as it is being read. The chapter reviews at the end are quite well done. My only suggestions would be to vary the order of the material. The chapter of plate tectonics, for example, would be better much earlier on, since much of the material depends on the concepts dealt with there. And there are a few places where technical terms that are not universally used (a problem in geology in general) could be identified with other equivalent terms that the student will encounter elsewhere. If this is in fact the case, I have not yet found out where and how it is done. Overall, an excellent text. I have the Kindle version, which works fantastically. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is an excellent reference for all things related to geology *by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015* This book, with over 500 pages of text, is an excellent reference for all things related to geology. It's loaded with excellent graphics: charts, illustrations, pictures, graphs, all enhancing the rich and detailed text. Everything about geology is covered, from the formation and internal structure of the earth to the various rock types that make up the surface of our planet and much, much more. Erosion, weathering, glaciation, earthquakes, volcanoes, it's all included. Geology is all around us and the authors make the subject interesting, understandable, and very readable. This book will greatly enhance the knowledge of anybody who's interested in our planet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/54449064-essentials-of-geology](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/54449064-essentials-of-geology) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
