Greetings, Next fall I'm going to teach a 1st year course on Natural History of Georgia for non-science students (although science majors are not excluded). This is a sort of "show and tell" course focusing on everything from geology to fauna but at an introductory level. The course is structured around the 4 "ecotypes" of Georgia, mountains, Piedmont, coastal plain, and coast & islands. As texts I was planning to use the two Peterson Guides, one to Eastern Forests and the other to the South Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. The publisher has just told me that both of these volumes are out of print. Does anyone have any alternative suggestions? I do have the guide to the Piedmont, which I understand is still in press. TIA, g2
