What is a must own book for geology?

There's a couple that I consider necessary for survival.  One is:\n\nRollinson, H., 1993, Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation; Pearson/Prentice Hall\n\nIt's a geochemistry book, but a PRACTICAL one.  It helped me get through my undergrad, and I'm using it again right now!\n\nThe "bible" for mineralogy is:\n\nNesse, W.D., 1991, Introduction to Optical Mineralogy, Second Edition; Oxford University Press\n\nIt's pretty much the standard, and still the best.  There are a couple different edtions.  I prefer the 2nd one to the third edtion.\n\nAlso, for petrography, get your hands on all the mineral atlases you can.  They are indespensible.\n\nWatch out though - buying geology references books can be addictive!  Have fun :)

You can type in geomorphology and use the various terms in a search engine.\nYou could read your Geology 101 text book.

Oh, book adoption time again? Sounds fun!\n\nWe adopted the PH Earth Science by Tarbuck/Lutgens.\n\nI really like it b/c the authors are wonderful. They wrote a lot of my college texts. But therein lies the problem.\n\nI teach 9th grade general ES classes. The reading level is well above most of my students. To solve the problem, I teach mostly from my own notes & activities. I use the text as a guide for vocabulary & as a resource for pictures & questions. The book is wonderful for Honors classes.\n\nOur physical science department adopted Glencoe's Physical Science if I am not mistaken. They did look at the PH version. I have not seen the actual text myself. However, one of my friends lent me a CD-ROM w/ some resources from the PH book. The resources are really good.\n\nJust keep in mind the age & reading level of your students. Sometimes textbook companies like to flash all the nice "free" stuff that goes along w/ the text. We received plenty of those things but most are not convenient to use. Lots of nice CD-ROMS for students but lack of computers, etc.\n\nGood luck w/ adopting your new "baby".\n\nLOL

As the motto of The Planetary Geology Division of the Geological Society of America says, ""When one planet simply isn't enough."\n\nSo my vote would be for "planetary geology".  :)

Invest in a "CliffsComplete" copy of whatever work you're reading. It has the full text of the original work as well as interpretations and all the stuff that would be in the "CliffNotes" version.

Okay, I have worked Alaska as a geologist, so I figure I can point you to a good book. I am sure Roadside Geology of Alaska will have a good summary of Alaska's geology. I looked on Amazon and didn't find anything I liked so my next stop was the Walter Geology Library at UT Austin. There are two or three really good geology libraries in the US and this is one of the better ones. To search yourself go here: http://utdirect.utexas.edu/lib/utnetcat/\n\nHere is my recommendation. You should be able to find this book in many libraries because it is published by the Geological Society of America. It is out of print so I recommend you have your library order it on interlibrary loan. Even public libaries can do this for you. I looked and there are no used copies on Amazon. Here is the library listing:\n\nTITLE:\n    The geology of Alaska / edited by George Plafker and Henry C. Berg. \nPUBLISHED:\n    Boulder, Colo. : Geological Society of America, 1994. \nDESCRIPTION:\n    x, 1055 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. \nSERIES:\n    Geology of North America v.

for the same reason there are a multitude of books on any natural phenomenon, there is always new things to learn about them. Personally though, I am more into learning through experience :)
