If you are not a subscriber to Earth Sciences History, but would like a copy of this particular issue, I have made a bulk purchase which substantially reduces the cost to UK purchasers compared the cost of purchasing a single copy directly from the publisher in the USA.

The price of from me would be £21 including postage. This compares well with the price of single copy posted from the US of £27.80 ($40). If you would like to place an order please contact me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Payment may be by cheque, on-line transfer to my account or PayPal.
