Dear all,
If you've come across great websites with information about galaxy evolution, galaxy mergers, post-quenched galaxies (or post-starburst galaxies), please post them here.
As with the threads on popular and scientific articles (here and here), the more background information and common understanding we can build as a collaboration, the better for our article.
Thanks!

I'm a fan of masteringastronomy.com, though I wish it were free. In the online astronomy course I teach, we use that. For the textbook, we choose 'The Essential Cosmic Perspective' by Bennett. Really well written, relatively concise, great resource. Again, wish that were free.
Bill Keel (mentioned agove) has some really galaxy and galaxy evolution informational resources on his website.
Good links to educational resources here: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/lib/edlinks.html and http://www.phys-astro.sonoma.edu/people/faculty/tenn/educational.html
Could someone take a look and let us know if the following are useful resources, at the right level? http://www.mpia-hd.mpg.de/homes/rix/Galaxies-lecture.htm http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Audio/
Has anyone done an online astro course that they'd recommend. A quick search brought me these (https://www.coursera.org/course/cosmo and http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/course/s282.htm). I'd love to offer an adult intro to astro course through the Adler Planetarium. Would this be of interest?
