<p>My school’s science bowl team almost made nationals this year. One of our weaknesses was earth science. Are there any recommended textbooks for this competition? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens. It covers everything and reads nicely. I’ve read everything but the astronomy chapters (which aren’t nearly as useful as the other chapters).</p>
<p>physicalgeography.net is also good, online and free. Covers the same material.</p>
<p>I can attest to the quality of that book. My team got 2nd at Nationals last year and that was the only book we used for Earth Science.</p>
<p>Read through Oceanography (forget the author but it was a yellow tinted cover with the ocean/horizon on it, I believe) almost cover to cover for fun, it was an awesome book.</p>
<p>^I spot two contrasting usernames there. :P</p>
