Hello all, It's the beginning of the semester here and I have foolishly agreed to develop a course on Phanerozoic Paleoclimatology that will be offered to upper level undergraduates starting in January. I'm interested in opinions, suggestions, disillusionment, etc. with textbooks that cover Phanerozoic Paleoclimate. Because all of our undergraduates (~70 per year) pass through our isotope courses it would be most fortunate if the text was based largely or even partly on isotope records. Because this request is a bit off the beaten path, it's probably best that you respond offlist. Any good suggestions will be rewarded with a beverage of choice at AGU or anywhere else that I get cornered. Any good suggestions on course material other than textbooks will also result in a reward. Thanks! Bill -- Dr. William P.
