Blackburn Press would like to announce the reprinting of
three classics in the first quarter 2005: Quaternary Palaeoecology
by H. J. B Birks and Hilary H. Birks,
ISBN 1-930665-56-3 Quaternary Palaeoecology, first
published in 1980, discusses the methods and approaches by which Quaternary
environments can be reconstructed from the fossil and sedimentary record. This
knowledge is of great value as the Quaternary was a time of rapid ecological
change, culminating in the present pattern and diversity of ecosystems. It is
possible not only to relate these changes to fluctuating climates but also to
infer what Man’s early influence may have been. The authors describe how
past flora and fauna can be reconstructed and how the numbers of fossils can be
used to reconstruct past plant and animal populations and communities, and past
environments. This and other paleontology titles are available at http://www.blackburnpress.com/paleontology1.html This book is available from Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1930665563/qid%3D1106150507/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-9630837-2123867 The Textbook of Pollen Analysis – IV
Edition by Knut Faegri, Johs Iversen, Peter Emil Kaland and Knut Krzywinski,
ISBN 1-930665-01-6 This book is a reprint of the fourth edition, published in
1989, of the Textbook of Pollen Analysis
and is unique in its approach as it discusses both the practical and
theoretical aspects of palynology. It uses palynological techniques as tools
for solving problems in quaternary geology, ecology and archeology. This edition of this standard reference has the same
objectives as the earlier ones but the objectives have been widened,
particularly the archaeological. There are over 130 illustrations and the
identification keys have been thoroughly revised and are now illustrated. "Unsurpassed in its restriction to basic principles,
breadth of coverage, clarity of expression and emphasis on ecology."

Manual by Alexander C. Martin and William
D. Barkley, ISBN 1-932846-03-4 The immediate aim of the manual is to help agriculturalists,
foresters, wildlife biologists, and others interested in land-use programs to
identify the seeds in their particular fields of interest. The authors have
restricted the content of the description to those characteristics useful for
identification. The descriptions are, to the extent possible, nontechnical and
therefore useful to a broader range of interests and skills.

we might consider returning to print. Your suggestions are welcome. Thank you. Mary S.
