The virtual online book has some definition errors which have confused students. The book does a great job in the breakdown of rock origins, soil layers, and groundwater. Example, the description of how Wegener came upon his theory of continental drift is a bit wordy.

Some descriptions could use some further clarification, or simplification. There is only bias in terms of how often the Vancouver/ BC area is referenced.ĭue to the slow progress of geological time, this book is absolutely relevant and not likely to be out of date any time soon. The text would benefit from one more additional proof reading. The content is highly accurate with no contextual errors. Often, this text goes on to describe geological formations in the BC/ Vancouver area due to the author's location. This book is fairly comprehensive, occasionally a bit advanced for introductory levels. Reviewed by Kathryn Tremblay, Adjunct Professor, Bristol Community College on 6/28/21
