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.

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." Review of Paleobotany and
Palynology

Seed Identification 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.

The Blackburn Press was founded with the mission of keeping in print and
available for purchase book titles that larger publishers have lost interest
in and have declared "out-of-print." We specialize in scientific, medical,
and technical books and textbooks.
The Blackburn Press is interested in hearing of other titles we might
consider returning to print. Your suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
