Not Freeze and Cherry but still a good intro text. by swamp thing  4 Stars
April 17, 2006
This is a good intro text to groundwater science or hydrogeology for upper level undergrads or entry level grad students. It will also serve as a great companion text to Freeze and Cherry's classic text. I actually like this text better than the Schwartz and Zhang text which is becoming THE text for intro hydrogeology courses across America. That in itself says alot. I think this text would benefit greatly with a second edition in which the author "fleshes out" some of the concepts. He should also include more derivations from the fluid dynamics perspective. I think this will benefit students who are advancing beyond this course into fluvial hydrology, surface hydrology, or contaminant transport. From what I've been told the author has been very open to suggestions by other professors. I can't verify this however. All in all this is a really good, readable, clear, concise text for students.

Better than Freeze n' Cherry by Dr. Moebius (Milky Way)  5 Stars
March 23, 2005
I and many others have been falsely pertuating the myth that Freeze and Cherry is THE coursebook for serious hydrogeologists. Well, the time has come to debunk that myth. After you pick up a copy of Charlie Fitts text, Groundwater Science, "mirror, mirror on the wall will reveal who has the best groundwater science text of all, and it ain't FnC."
For those non-risk takers out there, just browse on over to the publisher's companion website and read the first chapter and the first couple of pages of all the book for yourself. While you are there you see published reviews of this book and a whole lot of stuff to make instructors happy, like 100 book illustrations on powerpoint and the complete solutions manual. Of course, these are ONLY for instructors and students aren't savvy enuf to find them by themselves. If you don't think this is THE Best textbook on GW Science, go ahead and do your own review. And by the way, it is a lot cheaper than anything else out there, so you can feel good about keeping some $ in your students' pockets.
