McDonald and Woodward Publishing is releasing their newest book titled "Vernal Pools: Natural History and Conservation," by Elizabeth A. Colburn. Dr. Colburn is an aquatic ecologist at Harvard Forest, MA. This book is the most comprehensive and substantive synthesis available on the natural history, ecology and conservation of these seasonally-wet pools that occur throughout much of North America. The pools of the formerly glaciated regions of eastern North America are emphasized, but the information on pool history, content, and ecology--and conservation issues relevant to vernal pools--is applicable to pools in any geographic region.
