Some additional links from last nights class

More on American History of Agriculture: http://www.agclassroom.org/gan/timeline/index.htm

Guns, Germs and Steel -- by Jared Diamond. Available as a book, audio, and a wonderful PBS series on DVD. They are available from the Dane County area library system (and what a wonderful system that is). He does have a website as well -- http://www.pbs.org/gunsgermssteel/

From a prior class -- Documents of Paul Dietmann, our speaker a couple weeks ago: http://sauk.uwex.edu/ag/index.html

UW Madison, Steenbock Ag library: http://steenbock.library.wisc.edu/
They have a wonderful selection of the "old" books we talked about in class. You can get a card to check out books there; I've found their "Ask Steenbock" online chat is really wonderful.


I hope everyone enjoyed last night's session as much as I did! -- Scott
