Hi folks -

Using the 'Tweeters' Option' of 'occasional' plugs for merchandise, and as I have no financial interest in the book, I'm forwarding a notice of availability from a former Tweeter for a book/CD on Wildlife-Habitat Relationships.

Subject: Book/CD now available - OR/WA Habitat Relationships


Hi Jon - I'd like to post this to Tweeters, but only if you think it is appropriate! I recall an incident several years ago when an author of some conservation biology book really caused an uproar on OBOL by posting the availability of his book, don't know if he also posted to Tweeters,...but in our case a number of OBOL & Tweeters subscribers are authors or contributed by helping on our expert panels. What do you think? Thanks, Kelly
