About the Author

Darrel Hess began teaching geography at City College of San Francisco in 1990 and served as chair of the Earth Sciences Department from 1995 to 2009. After earning his bachelor's degree in geography at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1978, he served for two years as a teacher in the Peace Corps on the Korean island of Chejudo. Upon returning to the United States, he worked as a writer, photographer, and audiovisual producer. His association with Tom McKnight began as a graduate student at UCLA, where he served as one of Tom's teaching assistants. Their professional collaboration developed after Darrel graduated from UCLA with a master's degree in geography in 1990. He first wrote the Study Guide that accompanied the fourth edition of Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation, and then the Laboratory Manual that accompanied the fifth edition. Darrel has been authoring both works ever since. In 1999 Tom asked Darrel to join him as coauthor of the textbook. As did Tom, Darrel greatly enjoys the outdoor world. Darrel and his wife Nora, are avid hikers, campers, and scuba divers. Tom L. McKnight taught geography at UCLA from 1956 to 1993. He received his bachelor's degree in geology from Southern Methodist University in 1949, his master's degree in geography from the University of Colorado in 1951, and his Ph.D. in geography and meteorology from the University of Wisconsin in 1955. During his long academic career, Tom served as chair of the UCLA Department of Geography from 1978 to 1983, and was director of the University of California, Education Abroad Program in Australia from 1984 to 1985. Passionate about furthering the discipline of geography, he helped establish the UCLA/Community College Geography Alliance and generously funded awards for both undergraduate and graduate geography students. His many honors include the California Geographical Society's Outstanding Educator Award in 1988, and the honorary rank of Professor Emeritus upon his retirement from UCLA. In addition to Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation, his other college textbooks include The Regional Geography of the United States and Canada; Oceania: The Geography of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands; and Introduction to Geography, with Edward F. Bergman. Tom passed away in 2004-the geographic community misses him enormously. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This textbook is FABULOUS!!! April 4 2012
By Miss Jasmin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this textbook! I just wish it came sooner, but it is overall FABULOUS!!! It's just as easy to read and understand as the study guide and the book came in SUPERB condition! What really impressed me about this book is that it came with the unused laboratory code. The process of signing into the online geography program was very easy and FAST! The answers to the questions on the quizzes and tests are somewhat easy to find in the book and I would HIGHLY recommend this textbook to every college student in the world who is taking a geography course!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly decent May 16 2012
By Tom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had to purchase this book for a college class, and I'm surprised with how much I learned from it. It provided a decent breakdown of the concepts it introduces, and I almost never felt like I had information being thrown at me. There are plenty of diagrams and pictures and stuff. You know, all the textbook basics. The online animations and examples are also surprisingly helpful and usually very easy to understand. I would recommend the book, but chances are if you're buying a geography textbook it's because you need it and not for light reading. But either way, it's not a bad buy.

I ordered my book on may 14 and it arrived on may 20, I'm extremely pleased with the low price and fast delivery but the best part is the condition, I paid 18 dollars for a used book instead of 180 new and this one appears to be in better condition than a brand new one, in fact I intend to resell this and make a profit once I am done using it! this is the best online shopping experience ive ever had, w000t
