Product Description:

Environmental professionals can no longer simply publish research in technical journals. Informing the public is now a critical part of the job. Environmental Communication demonstrates, step by step, how it’s done, and is an essential guide for communicating complex information to groups not familiar with scientific material. It addresses the entire communications process, from message planning, audience analysis and media relations to public speaking - skills a good communicator must master for effective public dialogue. Environmental Communication provides all the knowledge and tools you need to reach your target audience in a persuasive and highly professional manner.

PERSONAL SPACE PROTECTOR ® WINS PRIZE IN BRAZIL

Ok, I know I have to keep a low profile and not expose my Personal Space Protector in public anymore due to patenting issues... but I had to send a video of it to a museum in Brazil, and it was good that I did it: the Personal Space Protector video (showing the object being used in 2009) won the "Prêmio Olho Latino", what, translated in English, is the "Latin Eye Prize", at the "Museu Olho Latino" (Latin Eye Museum) in Brazil. I promise now I'll try to keep a low profile... I miss using my Personal Space Protector out in the streets so much! I hope I'm allowed to use it soon again!

WARNER BROS / TELEPICTURES CELEBRITY PAULA DEEN WEARING A PERSONAL SPACE PROTECTOR AT COLUMBUS CIRCLE, NEW YORK CITY

Warner Bros (one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world) and Telepictures (one of their companies) contacted me for authorization to use my Personal Space Protector in a tv show pilot they shot in Manhattan in October.

They made a similar object, and Paula Deen wore it, as you can see in the picture.

* Please not that the object she wore was not made by me. Mine doesn't have shoulder straps and the design is more accurate, clean, and made in a way nobody gets hurt and it feels comfortable, letting people swing their arms, have compartments that can hold your bottle of water, cell phone, etc.

The Personal Space Protector that Paula Deen is wearing was made for a comic show, therefore, it has a different design.

On the next page you'll see my protector on Wendy WIlliams show on tv, the New York Post, etc...

Office demand for my Personal Space Protector!

Someone considers using my PSP in his office.

*** It's surely OK to sit down on chairs using it (you can see me sitting down in different chairs in pics posted on this blog - check "older posts" down on each page). The main issue at this point is that I'm not yet selling the device.
