Compared to the text I already use, The Evolving Earth works much better at communicating concepts like evolution to my students. I certainly like the concepts of the development of life, and how Prothero explains all possible mechanisms for hosting those complex reactions.
Donald R. Prothero teaches in the Department of Geological Sciences at California State Polytechnic University Pomona, and is a Research Associate in Vertebrate Paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. In 2013, he received the James T. Shea Award from the National Association of Geology Teachers for outstanding writing in the geological sciences.
