Here is the latest concept for the title page by Internetwork.

Here is an image of dry corn. Maybe it can be a small square somewhere.

Here are suggestions for the overlapping circle designs on pages 22 and 23.

Caption: The four disks on these pages show some important climate variables over the Americas. From left to right they show Sea Surface Temperature, rainfall, Earth's albedo, and the infrared energy emission. All these plots are averages for the December through January season, and in each case higher values are indicated in reds and lower values are indicated in blues.

SST and Rainfall

Albedo and OLR

Here are some new Images for OUR CHANGING CLIMATE: We have the prints for these.

First Dust Bowl Images from the University of Oklahoma

Dust Bowl Image: Dusty Car

Dust Bowl Image: Dust Storm

Next, a couple of images of Great Salt Lake and shoreline showing former lake levels from G. Atwood

Great Salt Lake: Farther away

Great Salt Lake: Closer and probably better

We think that the second, closer, one is better because it shows the former shorelines better.

Coming soon, a droughty corn image!

Here is a nice America-oriented Biosphere shot

The above right is copied from Search for the First Americans by David J. Meltzer St. Remy Press, Montreal, Smithsonian Books. page 17. It is a suggestion for a starting point. I would want to have the ice sheet be closer and much more prominent. and the mastodons maybe a little closer also.

Use one, the one on the left with the recent record, but not both of these two above.
