Hello Folks,

at the Amberif Fair, Ulf Erichson (Director, German Amber Museum Ribnitz-
Damgarten) and Dr. Wolfgang Weitschat (Geological- Paleontological Institute
& Museum, University of Hamburg) presented their new book: Baltic Amber;
Origin, deposits, inclusions. Amber in art and cultural history.

Very neat book, the natural history part covered by dr. Weitschat and the
cultural history by Ulf Erichson. Lots of color pictures, reproductions of
old maps and art. Interesting presentation of amber origins, science and
beauty of inclusions. And the museum collections, artist profiles, treasure
finds descriptions.
It can be ordered thru the museum's website, although it is not shown in
