| geology 5 - Earth History (with lab) | Last Updated • February 15, 2021 | |
The following textbooks have been adopted for this class
ABOUT the Geology 5 textbooks:
- EARTH'S SYSTEM HISTORY
The official textbook for lecture is the 4th edition of Stanley's Earth System History.
There are older editions of this textbook on the market, with only minor differences.
If you prefer to buy an older edition it is fine, but you should at least try to get the 3rd edition.
The 1st edition is not recommended.
In any case, once you choose an older edition you will be responsible for finding the proper materials in the book.
- FOSSIL ECOSYSTEMS OF NORTH AMERICA
Fossil Ecosystem of North America exists in one edition only, and it does not make a difference if you get a new or an used copy.
You will need it for reference, to integrate materials from the previous textbook, and to prepare weekly quizzes.
- LABORATORY STUDIES IN EARTH'S HISTORY
Levin and Smith's lab manual has been updated to the 10th edition.
Older editions of the lab manual have different sets of questions and this makes it necessary for you to use the new edition.
I also do not recommend that you ever get a used copy of this lab manual because pages are usually missing
and answers (not necessarily the right ones) might have already been written in by other students who then dropped the class.
In any case, you will need to tear pages from this book at the end of lab exercises and turn them in for the grading at the end of each lab.
