Environmental ConservationNOTICEPublications: Available or Forthcoming1) Index of Titles and Authors in Environmental Conservation*The Index for 1974-86 (both inclusive), and its first Supplement (covering the years 1987 and1988), are still available from the undersigned at the price (including surface postage) of US $40^or 60^ Swiss francs as long as stocks last. It is anticipated that most of our subscribers, at least, willwish to purchase a copy of this pioneering Index of which the first part, with its 9,399 entriesoccupying 159 pages in the format of the Journal, alone approaches twice the basic length of oneof our issues but still costs less!Moreover this price will include full payment also for a further Supplement, covering the 5 years1989-93, which is due to be sent in 1994 free to all registered purchasers of the original Index.Referencing, as it does, surely the vast majority of leading Authors and topics that emergedduring the formative years of the environmental-conservational movement or 'revolution', theIndex with its Supplements should represent a valuable tool for researchers and a propitious guidefor writers. This was borne out by our own experience during its original compilation, whenalready it proved to be a most useful work of reference, '... altogether constituting a uniquechronicle of the environmental-conservational concerns of modern times' (according to theForeword by the then Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, DrMostafa K. Tolba).2) Full Sets and Back Numbers of Environmental ConservationWe still have a few complete sets of Environmental Conservation, from its beginning with theSpring issue of 1974, available for purchase by or for worthy 'homes'. Back numbers can usuallybe supplied to fill gaps at a cost of US $10 apiece.3) Copies o/Ecosystem Theory and ApplicationWe also have some residual copies available (at US $40 each, including postage) of EcosystemTheory and Application, published in 1986 by John Wiley & Sons in the President's series ofEnvironmental Monographs & Symposia.4) Publication o/Environmental ChallengesIn July 1993 the Foundation for Environmental Conservation will be co-publishing the first ofits planned 'Original Paperbacks: Readers by Leaders'. Entitled Environmental Challenges: FromStockholm to Rio and Beyond, it has a Foreword by Mrs Gro Harlem Brundtland and an Intro-duction by its Editors, Mohammad Nazim & Nicholas Polunin, with early chapters by Mostafa K.Tolba, Nafis Sadik, Brigitta Dahl, and Arthur H. Westing; included among later chapters are thoseheaded by Bert Bolin, Sandro M. Radicella, and Maurice F. Strong. The price (including postage)will be US $12 for individuals and US $18 for institutions.5) World Who's Who in Environment & ConservationAfter years of preparation, work is now proceeding apace on the Foundation's long-plannedWorld Who's Who in Environment & Conservation: Leading Specialists, Administrators, and Bene-factors, which is planned to contain, besides helpful Appendixes, detailed biographies of the c. 3,000seemingly most eminent and/or active living men and women involved in this all-important dualityof subjects. Being a large undertaking for a tiny office, it is expected to take another three years tocomplete and see through the press, with publication most likely in the Winter of 1996-7.(MRS) LYNN M.
