ANNOUNCEMENT of SALTON SEA PUBLICATIONS and THE SAD CASE OF POLITICAL CENSORSHIP BY NALMS Two new collections of scientific papers on the Salton Sea, the largest lake in California and one of the world's more dynamic salt lakes have been published recently, one in Lake and Reservoir Management and oone in Hydrobiologia Their respective tables of content are given at the bottom of this message, along with information on how to order the volumes and email addresses of authors for requesting individual papers. Given certain problems with printing of the volumes, the quality of the individual pdfs is sometimes higher than than will be found in the volumes themselves. We also announce an important 15-page Supplement to the LRM issue that is available as a pdf on the SDSU Center for Inland Waters. That Supplement consists of all the front materials for the LRM volume that were deleted or damaged by a censorious and unprofessional directorate (Executive Director and Executive Committee) of the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS), publisher of LRM. These materials include the deleted dedication of the special issue by its authors to LRM editor Jim LaBounty and the 6400-word official preface for the issue, titled A Symposium and a Lake in Multiple Contexts: A Prefatory Essay on Salton Sea Science and Politics. The Supplement also includes an essay titled Axing Truth. This is an account of the heavy-handed political censorship by the NALMS Directorate that explains why the official preface was omitted from the LRM issue and describes other unprofessional acts by the NALMS Directorate that damaged the quality of this special issue of LRM. Persons obtaining a copy of the LRM issue should print out the pdf of the Supplement and keep it with their copy. If your library subscribes to LRM, you might insert a copy of this supplement inside the Salton Sea issue of LRM (vol. 23, no. 5, 2007). Please forward this message to colleagues, decisionmakers and students who might be interested in the Salton Sea or other salt lakes or the ethical, political and environmental issues raised in Axing Truth and the Official Preface Stuart H. Hurlbert, Editor Salton Sea Centennial Symposium   ****************************   Tables of Contents & Ordering Information Salton Sea Centennial Symposium, Parts 1 and 2   Email addresses of corresponding authors are given at end of each author list.
