It is concise, well-written, and filled with color illustrations and photographs. Chaisson, Eric,/McMillan, Steve, ASTRONOMY TODAY, 3rd Edition, Prentice-Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1999. Earth's Dynamic Systems The 8th edition of this highly acclaimed textbook on physical geology is now available. The text focuses on the two major energy systems of the Earth: the plate tectonic system and the hydrological system. It is considered by many to be the best teaching text available for introductory physical geology. Hamblin, W.
