Welcome! Geology DE for 2011-2012 is going to be great!
Buy your textbooks early. I'll provide a short list of good places to purchase, but feel free to research them yourselves. You will need the following texts:
Busch, Richard M. (2010). Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology (8th
Edition). AGI/NAGT American Geological Institute. Prentice Hall:
New Jersey. ISBN #: 0136007716
Tarbuck, Edward J. and Frederick K. Lutgens (2005). Earth: An Introduction
to Physical Geology. (9th ed.), Pearson Prentice-Hall: New Jersey.
Geode CD-Rom included. ISBN #: 0131566849
Buy Tarbuck used (with CD), but purchase the Busch lab manual new (or you might be missing something important)...
Good places to look:
www.amazon.com
www.textbooks.com
www.half.com
www.bigwords.com (great place for comparison shopping!)
Have a great summer! I'll post something ocassionally. You have NO summer assignment. Just have your books ready by the first day of school so that we can get a solid start!
