The materials sound interesting. Ruth ----- Original Message ----- From: Trish Newcomb To: rroperti Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 12:57 PM Subject: New Environmental Education Resources Greetings! This message is being sent to educators, students, resource managers, and others, who have an interest in freshwater ecosystems. During the Fall of 2009, McDonald & Woodward Publishing Company will be launching a new environmental education initiative with the release of four new interactive educational resources for use in identifying and studying common, widespread freshwater invertebrates of North America. These high-quality products will be built upon the robust foundation of J. Reese Voshell?s very popular and highly respected book A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America, and they will include Flash Cards of Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America (includes three different sets of cards, 34 cards/set) and QuickGuide to Major Groups of Freshwater Invertebrates, an easy-to-use guide to identifying common, widespread macroinvertebrates to the levels of class and order. These products will be, by most measures, the best of their type and subject available, and they will be especially useful to teachers, students, naturalists, water quality monitors, resource managers, and others who study, manage, or simply enjoy freshwater ecosystems. In order to encourage and facilitate the rapid, widespread placement of these resources into the hands of potential users, for a limited time we are offering substantial discounts ? up to 50%! ? on the purchase of these items ? and on any other of our publications if ordered at the same time. For descriptions of the products and terms of the discount offerings, please visit www.mwpubco.com/titles/invertspromotion.htm or contact McDonald & Woodward Publishing directly. We greatly appreciate your interest in our publications. We also would be grateful if you were to pass this announcement along to others in your network who would be interested in knowing about the resources described above.
