The Association for Mexican Cave Studies (AMCS) announces these new publications:
AMCS Activities Newsletter 30, for 2007, 166 pages. 17 pages of "Mexico News," 20 articles. Softbound $14, hardbound $24.
AMCS Bulletin 18, Modelling the Groundwater Catchment of the Sian Ka'an Reserve, Quintana Roo, by Bibi Ruth Neuman and Malene Louise Rahbek. A joint M.Sc. thesis from Denmark. The wetlands in this reserve on the southern Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo are fed by a karst aquifer and are at risk of pollution. 209 pages, softbound. $15.
Association for Mexican Cave Studies Newsletter, vols 1-5, 1965-1977, new reprint as PDF files on CD. This publication, a predecessor to the current AMCS Activities Newsletter series, was published regularly in 1965 and 1966 and then sporadically. It contains much interesting information on early Mexican caving, including the first caver visits to Huautla and Cuetzalan, the discovery and first descent of Golondrinas, and caves and caving in the Sierra de El Abra. Articles on biology, geology, and archaeology appear. The PDF files contain a total of 885 regular pages, and there are 19 foldout-size maps. $3.
Additional info on these publications is or soon will be on our web site, www.amcs-pubs.org. There you can find the tables of contents for the Activities Newsletter and the bulletin and the abstract for the bulletin. Order from AMCS, PO Box 7672, Austin, Texas 78713 or by e-mail and PayPal. There is a PayPal button at the bottom of www.amcs-pubs.org/order.html. US surface postage is $3 for first book or CD and $1 for each additional.

The new publications and dozens of others will be for sale at the AMCS sales tables in the indoor-sales area at the coming NSS convention. Stop by for a visit. AMCS people who would be willing to help out by working the store for a few hours during the convention should talk to Bill Mixon.
