The New York Earth Science Reference Tables
The
Earth Science Reference Tables (must
always be
italicized when referred to) is an
invaluable tool to the earth science student. It contains important
equations,
measurements,
maps,
identification tables, etc. This small book is often used during
classes,
tests, and
homework assignments. In fact, the
Earth Science Reference Tables is even used during the Earth Science
Regents Examination.
