You beat the hell out of my local bookstore! Thank you very much. The product arrived in a timely manner in descent condition. Spent $17.99 total on this book and it would have cost me upwards of around $100 on campus. The cover was a little worn but the pages were in excellent condition, but overall better than I expected. Great value and a smooth transaction.
Perfect Order

I was worried about ordering a used book online but it turned out to be better than described and got it sooner than expected. Would buy again.

I have an older edition from my time at Ohio State about 15 years ago and much has changed. I love the newer edition with more precambrian history and evolutionary history of major fauna groups. The book is heavily illustrated which is a big plus. I like the bibliography and have used those sources to order books to get a different perspective. Great undergraduate book.

The book is so good to understand the earth's evolution and the origin of the features of the planet. If you live on the Nortamerican plate this book shows you the history or your place. If you are not in America, may be you will disgusting because the title describes to much of the evolution in norteamerica and avoids a little the other parts of the word. Although is still a very good textbook for Historical Geology, and you will enjoy to read it, it's like to read a novel, a novel full of imagens, a very good edition. Recommended for nongraduated estudents.Este libro es muy bueno para entender la historia de la Tierra y los porigenes de las caracteristicas del planeta...el porque la Tierra es como es. Solo que hace mucho enfasis en el continente americano, sobre todo en la geologia del escudo canadiense y si tu no vives en America tal ves te desespere ver que trata mucho de esta parte del globo. Pero aun asi es un excelente libro para el curso de Geologia Historica..vivas donde vivas. Su lectura es muy amena, es como leer una novela y aparte esta lleno de imagenes, esta muy buen ilustrado, muy buena edicion. Recomendado para estudiantes universitarios.
