Do you want the library to subscribe to this journal?
High Temperatures-High Pressures (www.hthpweb.com) is "devoted to the experimental and theoretical study of the thermophysical properties of matter." It began in 1998 and ceased publication in 2005. Recently it was been picked up by another publisher and they have released the last 2 issues from the 2005 volume.
These two issues are available for viewing at the Main Library Circulation Desk. You may vote whether you'd like us to carry this journal or vote by email.
From the publisher: The journal reflects the common interests of physicists, engineers, material scientists, chemists, and other scientists. It provides a focus for developing and disseminating knowledge of thermophysics research, applications, equipment, and techniques. It covers the thermophysical properties of gases, liquids, and solids, at all temperatures and under all physical conditions. Authoritative reviews of advances in thermophysics research, new technology applications, scientific meeting reports, and book reviews are other regular features of the journal.

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Climate Change
Publisher Wiley-Blackwell recently announced an agreement to launch a new online publication, Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Climate Change. The publication is a collaborative project with the Royal Meteorological Society and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and will begin publishing in 2010.
From the press release: "The Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews (WIREs) are hybrid publications that combine the most powerful features of traditional reference works and review journals in an innovative online format. WIREs Climate Change will complement the global publisher's already existing activities in the area of geographical research and knowledge transfer to policy.
WIREs Climate Change will be developed under the editorship of Professor Mike Hulme, Founding Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia. The online resource will cover a broad range of topics including climate modelling, climate economics, climate change mitigation, and the ecological impacts of climate change."
