History of Life at College of Wooster

Here's another course for the geologically inclined lifelong learners among us. Mark A. Wilson teaches Geology 100 History of Life. The website currently loaded for the Spring 2008 course. You'll find extensive resources for each class session, including Preparation Questions (excellent) and thoughtfully chosen links. As of this posting, all links are active.

Wicander, R. and J.S. Monroe. 2006, Historical Geology: Evolution of Earth and Life Through Time, (Fifth Edition) Thomson, Brooks/Cole is the recommended text. Obviously, this one is going to be expensive, but you can usually find an older edition at Amazon.com priced very reasonably. There is also a link out to the textbook companion website.

This one is going to take some time. You'll find several very interesting trails to follow from each class session. Enjoy!
