To: Undisclosed-recipients



Dear Panel.

As this is the last materials available list for 2008 let me   thank you all
for your support for this project over the last twelve months. During 2008
we published reviews of over 160 items and extended our panel into
intellectual regions  and our reach into geographic locations that we had
hitherto overlooked.

Without the support of the editorial team at Leonardo Reviews this would not
have been possible so especial thanks to  Managing Editor, Bryony Dalefield,
Copy Editor, Dene Grigar, Materials Editors Martha Blassnigg and John Vines,
and Web Manager Hannah Drayson. We are also grateful for support from Th SF
Office particularly from Pamela Grant Ryan and Kathleen Quillian.

This month's list of materials is now available, please let Bryony know if
you would like to review any items and we will do our best to get them to
you in the next week or so. Please mail her at ldr at leonardo.org

Thank you again for your support.

Best wishes
Michael
