"I strongly recommend Monroe and Wicander's very readable, finely illustrated and comprehensive book for the first year of geology, especially for a non-majors geology course. It is a great introduction to the wonders of geology. We chose it for multiple reasons: the clear writing, the combination of physics and history in one text, the many good illustrations, and the extensive chapter questions."
"I rely on the textbook for excellent pictures and diagrams as well as information that can be easily read by most college students."
"This course is unique in that it is a semester course that includes both physical and historical geology. It is difficult to find a book that meets the course description. THE CHANGING EARTH is the only book that does so, and that is why I have adapted it to the course this fall."
