    I ordered two books from this seller and they were shipped the same day and together so I received them at the same time. The price was way cheaper than if I had bought the books in the school bookstore, and since I am going to school out of pocket this semester I would not have been able to use financial aid anyways. The books were as listed (used, normal wear and tear) and they had all the pages. I am totally happy with this purchase and will look to buy from this seller for the rest of my textbook needs.

    This manual provided for great lab experience, reading the prework material gave me the skills I need to be prepared for each lab session. It allowed our lab instructor to go more in depth with her knowledge and stimulate the class more.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Student perspective
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This lab manual is pretty bare bones. There is a lot of pictures for the exercises and there are maps and all sorts of things. From a student perspective, It is not as good as one would think. The exercises are poorly written with bad direction. Half the time you don't know what figures the questions are referring to, and the maps are so bad! Every map is just horribly copied into the book that you cant see much detail. you need a magnifying glass just to read the labels (if there are any) and none of them have legends! If you are an instructor that is deciding on a lab manual, please save your students some trouble. Don't chose this Manual!

    For the size and content of the book, the price is far too high. Seems that the publisher is aware that geology students HAVE to purchase this as part of study so charge silly money 'because they can' .......Hmph!
