WOW! TEST SCORES ARE UP^^!!!
Wow!! I am in 8th grade and taking the High School Regent Earth Science course, and before I bought this book I was getting 50s and 60s on tests (my quarter average was a 84) and after I did the review questions in each chapter I havn't gotten anything below a 85 (now my average is a 94)!! This made my average go up 10 points, and if it can work for me, it can definitely work for you. My mom said it was the best money she ever spent, and I also bought the Barron's Regents Earth Science Exams and Answers book, but unfortunately it was a "little" overused and I can't read anything in it.. O WELL THIS REALLY HELPS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! it even has a full exam in the back and a vocab section that shows vocab words to know for the test, it's really good!

Excellent Earth Science Guide
Earth Science is every student's punishment. When I took the regents examination in the course the first time, I failed badly. My teacher misused all resources to teach, was poor in the subject, was an all around bad teacher and he got what came to him when 3 of the 60 people in his class passed. When I picked up this Barron's Review Book, it was everything I needed to know about the topic, better explained than standard textbooks and workbooks. This is a great review book, which got me a passing grade my second time hitting the regents. If you suffer with a subject, Barron's is a great review source, especially in Earth Science.

A Real Need to Teach Earth Science
It is good to see books of this calibre in the field of Earth Science - an area of our education that has so long been neglected. I also recommend an excellent title by a European educator and earth scientist called "Geographical Literacy". It is written by Kieran O'Mahony and he also has a couple of companion pieces - "The Dictionary Of Geographical Literacy" and "Geography and Education". These should be read by all teachers.
