A popular teaching resource just got better! We wanted to give the members of the Northeast Regional Conference on the Social Studies the first opportunity to purchase our most recently updated third edition of Earth Matters: Studies for our Global Future, a secondary curriculum, now available on CD-ROM. Please feel free to post this offer through your listserv or Web site.

This updated interdisciplinary edition is comprised of 16 thematic units, 32 informative readings, and 43 interactive teaching activities that meet the national academic standards for ten different subject areas. The Earth Matters: Studies for our Global Future curriculum has proven to be a versatile and effective tool for secondary-level educators in the fields of environmental science, world geography and economics and we believe that it may be of great interest to your members and contacts.

The Earth Matters CD-ROM is Windows/Mac compatible and is available for $15.00 plus shipping and handling at www.populationconnection.org; or call 1-800-767-1956. ISBN 0-945219-20-2.
