Geology lessons
« on: April 23, 2009, 10:57:51 pm »

Not sure this is entirely DF specific, but I figure that knowledge doesn't ever actually hurt. Most knowledge, anyway.

So there's this guy on the internets, and he's writing a geology book, and it's available for free. It's not very well written, and there's a lot of editing that he should do, but the information is nice. And since it's about geology, I figured that hey, DF players might want to read it and get inspired. Or something. Just thought I'd toss it up here. Enjoy.

You can download the course materials for any MIT class for free.

They have Geology!

I feel bad, considering how many people I have told about this little fact, I've never taken advantage of it myself.

I guess we can relate it to how DF depicts geology, but this woould probably be more appropriate in the general discussion.
