The following books, books+CDs, web sites and software are available for
review. The reports will be published in our journal, Physical Sciences
Educational Reviews. The next issue of the journal is due out in May 2003
so evaluations by the end of April would be required. Guidelines for
reviewers can be found on our web site (address below - click on 'site map').
If you would like to review one or more of the resources then please let me
know.
