For what it is, it seems better than average: almost like an 'essentials of geology' book. Nice key for identifying landforms and table of igneous classification. Interesting section on making geological maps. Rocks & minerals section is quite brief, because this is a geology book more than R & M. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
