Dear Prof. Millstein,
 
Having now visited your site I must congratulate you on your site and I
was imterested to read the mission of your Society. Indeed, our own
journal, The International Journal of Developmental Biology is a
not-for-profit, scholarly journal whose mission is twofold: to promote
the divulgation of developmental biology to scientists worldwide by
offering free online access to scientists from developing countries; and
to tackle some of the social aspects of developmental science. I refer
you to our two lastest publications, which may be of interest to you and
ISHPSSB members.
 
Our most recent edition, entitled "Evolution & Development" has been
conceived as a biological roadmap by our Special Editors, hand in hand
with experts in evolutionary development to:

learn from the past to shape the future

put forward new and thought-provoking hypotheses

stimulate debate on critical issues in Evolution & Development

offer case studies on the origins of different organisms

dealve into the complexities of both macro and micro evolutionary
processes

Our very well-received Special Issue from 2003 is entitled "Teaching
Developmental Biology" may also be of interest. It offers marvellous
insight into the many different aspects of teaching Developmental
Biology. It features representatives of many different countries (USA,
UK, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, Italy, Singapore, Sweden, Russia,
India, Turkey, and Ecuador), and reveals a selection of different course
levels (primary, secondary, undergraduate, post-grad etc), teaching
methods, social considerations and personal teaching philosophies.

I am sure that the two latest releases mentioned will interest your
members and would be very appreciative if you would be able to
facilitate this information to the ISHPSSB, perhaps through your
newsletter and/or by posting on your website. Please find attached a
high quality version of the Table of contents pdf file of both Special
Issues for this purpose. Further information can be found at the link:

Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Plesase do not
hesitate to contact me should you have any queries. We are always open
to reciprical advertising from fellow scholarly organisations, and
maintain various "verbal" agreements with not-for-profit developmental
organisations and societies to this end.

best wishes,
 
Ashley
