PRAISE FOR
PERSPECTIVES OF SAN DIEGO BAY: A FIELD GUIDE

My warmest congratulations to you all for a field guide that is so superb and professional that one can only marvel that high school students produced it. The field guide presents a wonderful synthesis

of original science, review of published information, and humanistic insights into conservation. If only the rest of America were as interested, informed, and dedicated as your students, this country could readily solve its environmental problems. I do hope that all your students will in the future remain involved in and contribute to conservation.

This is certainly a beautiful book with many beautiful minds behind it. High Tech High students collaborated with high school educators and local university researchers to produce a marvelous book with several interesting photos, graphics, writings, and maps. I am particularly thrilled with their use of cutting-edge Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology to create biogeographical maps. This practical book employs a cross-disciplinary approach which skillfully combines the humanities with technology.
