[Ecoed] RE: Ecoed Digest - On Origin of the Species free online

Wed Jun 11 14:03:07 GMT 2008

Dear W2 and EcoEd --

An alternative no-cost option for students is to read On the Origin of the
Species online at http://www.eoearth.org/article/Environmental_Classics
This version may not meet your specific needs for this class, but I want to
make sure you are aware of this option. As you can see at the link, The
Encyclopedia of Earth (www.eoearth.org) has an Environmental Classics
section that also includes Walden and a few others books at this point.  We
are working to build the collection in cases where copyright issues can be
worked out. Suggestions are welcome.

Dear EcoEd,

I'm going to be teaching a first-year seminar next fall, and I'm  
having the students read "The Origin of Species." There seem to be  
dozens of editions out there, and I have to specify one for our  
campus store to buy. Anybody have any favorites? I have an ancient  
dog-eared paperback, but it's not with me and I can't remember the  
publisher or edition. All other things being equal, cost should be  
low, of course. Also, how about "The Voyage of the Beagle?" I'm  
slightly leaning toward having them read that, too, in which case I'd  
probably pick "From So Simple a Beginning: Darwin's Four Great Books  
(Voyage of the Beagle, The Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, The  
Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals)" by Charles Darwin and  
Edward O. Wilson, which is only $27.

Folks, 

I am researching the general trends in programs of study for undergraduate
degrees in wildlife management and related fields.  For example,
undergraduate degrees in wildlife management, wildlife conservation,
wildlife resource management/conservation, natural resource
management/conservation, etc.

I am interested in obtaining copies of programs of study (or degree program
curricula, however you wish to label it).  I wish to summarize the nature of
general studies requirements as well as the degree-specific requirements for
these degrees, and to draw conclusions about the national trends and/or
regional variation associated with such degrees.

At our university, we have a document called a program of study.  It lists
the general studies course requirements/categories on the left side of the
document, and the department/degree specific courses on the right side of
the document.

If you are a person familiar with your institutions offerings, I would
appreciate any guidance as to how I can obtain this info from your
institution (pdf, website address, etc).

At the very least, if you would let me know of institutions that you are
aware of that offer these types of undergraduate degree programs, I would be
grateful.

Thanks in advance  for any help with this project.

Cary
