Dear All

Once again we need reviewers for resources that we have received at the Centre during the past few months.

Completed reviews will be published in our journal (formerly Physical Sciences Educational Reviews) 'Reviews' (due out in spring 2010).

If you would like to review one (or more) of the items listed below please let me know.

If you need more information about the books, I have included a link to the publisher’s page,

To meet the deadline for the next journal, reports would be required by the end of April 2010.

Regards

Roger Gladwin
