Description

About the Author Fred Lutgens and Ed Tarbuck have been good friends and colleagues since 1970. Between them, they have more than 57 years of experience teaching geology to undergraduates, and both have been recognized with awards as excellent and inspiring professors. They share a special interest in introducing geology to beginning students and a belief in the value of field experiences for students of all levels. Lutgens and Tarbuck published their first college text, Earth Science , in 1976. That book, winner of the McGuffy Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association, is now in its thirteenth edition. In 1983, as the first edition of Earth was being prepared, gifted geology illustrator Dennis Tasa joined the author team. Since then the three have collaborated on more than twenty projects. Not only do Tarbuck, Lutgens, and Tasa work well together creatively; they also enjoy spending time in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Tasa’s New Mexico studio. Tarbuck enjoys downhill skiing in Colorado, fly fishing near his childhood home in Northern Minnesota, and spending time in the Cascades. Lutgens is an avid runner, and when he can make the time, truly enjoys hiking the canyons of the Colorado Plateau. Although Lutgens and Tarbuck think alike on many issues, they don’t agree on everything. Lutgens is devoted to jazz and classical music, whereas Tarbuck prefers pop artists or a good country station.

No access card

Okay first of all, I bought the book and it said it was supposed to come with the access card. I open my package, no access card. So basically it's useless

I know the description said it may not contain access ...

I know the description said it may not contain access code but was hoping it would. I may have to return the book if it has no value without the code.

misinformed

i am very bothered by the fact that before ordering this i was not told that the access code was modified, and the modified version is not the one i need and there is no telling how i would have known this was modified prior to having placed my order

Good book. Bad class.

Personally hated the class. When my professor told me to identify 48 rocks in front of me on the second week I knew I was in for a world of hurt this semester. Overall the book was in good shape. It was hardback and had a little bit of writing in it. The people that wrote in it before me looked as though they knew about as much as I did.

The class would get 1 star.
Book gets 4 stars because of the writing in the books.
