Prof. Christopher White - Historical Geology - What a Professor sounds like.


I’ve been wanting to get Professor White’s talks into this series for viewers interested in hearing a very good professor lecturing his class via the web.  He is a pleasure to listen to because he gets on point and stays on point.  White speaks clearly, concisely, conveying a great deal of information in a short period of time. Below the fold I've listed his entire lecture series with links.  Not for casual viewing, but if you want to seriously learn a few things about Earth's evolution give him a try.

For the record:

I'm not a professor, I am a citizen who feels his lecture a fantastic and that more people should know about them.  I would suggest contacting Dr Christopher White.

I've just stumbled across this series on YouTube - it's absolutely fantastic! I've always had an interest in Geology but now I feel I have access to an education in it.

I love his lectures there great for learning and enjoyable even if just watching them, he is a brilliant teacher tho I do wish he would interact more on youtube so we could help him out but he has some of the best geologic history videos on YouTube.

My name is Zvika Greenberg from Haifa Israel - I am 73 and a student of geology at the open university of Israel. I think that this block of lectures is the best on the net. I am summarizing them. But there is something missing - I don't have a photo of Dr Christopher White.

He seems to be camera shy.
