Thoough the book is naturally suited to the social studies, it
should also be considered as a resource for teaching Earth Science.
The book's focus on the physical environments of North Carolina
makes it a perfect case study for Earth Science students. Students
respond so much better to theories and principals when they can
relate it to that which they know, specifically their own county
and region. Complete
