Contributed book chapters needed: We are editing a book entitled Peak Oil, Economic Growth, and Wildlife Conservation. Eleven chapters are already in hand. These chapters, for the most part, represent a series of papers presented at a recent conference sponsored by The Wildlife Society. We would like to include three additional chapters to round out a comprehensive assessment of the implications of peak oil for wildlife conservation in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />North America. Chapters are need that address (1) impacts of expanded coastal and off-shore oil and gas development; (2) impacts of oil and gas development in the Great Plains and western United States, with particular attention to shale oil mining; and (3) impacts of oil and gas development in the Northern Boreal Region, with particular focus on Canadian tar sands. Contributors are encouraged to contact J. Edward Gates, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Appalachian Laboratory, 301 Braddock Road, Frostburg, MD 21532.
