The book, Living with Karst, A Fragile Foundation , will be available in May and will include a copy of the poster. The poster and the booklet are part of the AGI Environmental Awareness Series, which aims to increase public awareness and understanding of the natural systems that sustain society and life. The President's message joins more than 25 proclamations from state governors and city mayors across the nation. Earth Science Week is celebrated annually during the second week of October to increase public awareness and understanding of the earth sciences and to give people of all ages the opportunity to discover the connection between their lives and the Earth.
