ANNOUNCEMENTS |
||
| regarding a text for this class |
No
specific textbook is required; however, each student must have access to appropriate text
references to adequately supplement course topics. Any earth science or physical geology textbook, published by a scientific
or academic publisher in the last 8 years, is appropriate. I have recommended a text by Tarbuck, et al., titled Earth Science. Although the current edition is the 13th edition (Prentice Hall, 2011), older editions are perfectly appropriate and are widely available at reduced cost on internet sites. If you have access to a different textbook but are unsure whether it is appropriate for this class, simply come and ask me. Other resources for reading and reference will be provided in class, posted on the course webpage, or posted in Blackboard. |
