1952 College Series Earth Science Lecture Syllabus

My French teacher was cleaning out her back closet for the end of the year and found a stack of old books. She has been teaching cine the mid-80's and decided to let her current students look through them and take any that interested them. I took this, was planning on using it for an art project, until I found the copyright date and knew it had to have some sort of value. The copyright of the book is 1952, and appears to be written by the Michigan State College Press.  It is a lecture syllabus, and has a basic cardboard front and back cover. it is printed in all black and white. There are some illustrations, of which appear to be illustrated by Shirley Nelson, and the name on the side of the book reads "Lawson".

The book is in pretty good shape, no pages missing, however there is a little bit of writing on some pages in what appear to be personal notes. On the first page, there is some cursive writing in green ink and in pencil I'm assuming to be a name for who owned the book, but it isn't completely legible.. The pages are slightly yellowed, due to age. I can't seem to find any rips or tears, or even creases or folds other than a few minor ones on page corners.
