Geology of the Desert Southwest Review by Christine Hindle

This textbook is for ages 9-12 (Guided Reading Level T). It covers the geology of the desert Southwest in the United States. It is published by a secular press that espouses the "billions and billions of years" view of the earth's formation, so those of us who believe in God's creation of the earth and a young earth will have to tread carefully. Nevertheless, there is much to learn here, and it is presented in an interesting and very visual style. There are experiments and demonstrations to do, lots of nice illustrations, and very instructive text. I am especially fond of the visual aspect of it because many children are visual learners, and the more pictures there are and hands-on activities, the better they are able to absorb the material.
I was especially interested in this book because we are currently living in this area of the country. We like to explore, and the family goes camping frequently. This study will make what we are seeing even more interesting because we will know more about the rocks and formations.
This book is $15.95 softcover / $21.95 hardcover on Nomad Press's website.
