Hello, A colleague, Dr. Aldemaro Romero, and I have been commissioned to edit a new book about current issues and controversies in marine mammal science. It is our intention to produce a timely, up-to-date and "edgy" volume that reflects current controversies and/or advances in the field. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a chapter proposal on any topic in consideration for inclusion in our book. We are especially interested in topics that will be of interest to all who are interested in marine mammal biology. If you are interested, please respond at your earliest convenience and then send us a chapter proposal by 1 April. The title and content of your chapter is entirely up to you. Chapter proposals should be written 1-4 pages long, describing main ideas, key points and research results. The chapter proposals can include images and/or tables, and there is no specific technical requirement. Please follow the instructions at the link below to submit a chapter proposal. Once we evaluate and accept your chapter proposal, we will notify you of the deadline date for submission of a full chapter. http://www.intechweb.org/participate-in-a-book-project.html The book is being published by an open-access publisher located in Croatia called In-Tech. The working title of the book is "Marine Mammals" and the ISBN is 979-953-307-948-5. We will probably change the title of the book to "Current Issues in Marine Mammalogy" or something similar in order to more precisely define its intended contents. Thank you in advance for considering this request. We look forward to working with you. Edward O. Keith, Ph.D. Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center 8000 N.
