Hi all, I'd like to contribute as well. We've just changed back from 'thematic' intro courses to a more standard format in a effort to produce a more coherent base level background for majors. I haven't found any of the intro books totally to my liking as far as organization goes. I think if possible it would be great to make the chapters of the book totally stand alone, so that people could use them in any order as well. It might be interesting to integrate lab ideas right into the lecture material to make the two parts seamless. I've got lots of digital images I can contribute as well (mostly volcano pics but others as well), and wanted to add that of course NASA and the USGS have thousands of pictures online that can be used for something like this.
