Yeah, that's a pretty pixel-y picture. Consider: if you resize that image for 300 dots per inch, it'll still be close to 11 inches wide. The publisher's being a bit primitive in proffering the images with a screen resolution, but it's trivial for you to resize them yourself with an appropriate program.

Depending on your workflow you might now open the pdf in Photoshop and resave the images with the appropriate resolution (allowing the dimensions to retract accordingly, so the program doesn't try to create new pixels or something), or you might simply use the images as-is in your layout program, reducing their dimensions by an appropriate percentage in that. Depends on whether you trust your layout program to ignore its internal resolution correctly, and on whether it'll be too complex to do the resizing in the layout instead of a separate program.
