sorry for x-posting..... Flash! Write us a 5pp piece on the following topic: "Deconstructing "Vegas!" and maybe get (a) published; (b) free 2-year subscription. Subscribe to Human Geography: A New Radical Journal Meant to be Read from Cover to Cover We have started a new journal in Human Geography broadly conceived to cover topics ranging from geopolitics, through cultural and economic issues, to political ecology. The first issue came out in May, 2008, the second in November, 2008, and the third in March 2009. We envisage a well written, critical, intellectual journal, not full of empirical detail, and not encumbered by too many citations, a journal that can be read in its entirety. The journal is peer reviewed - but we intend to give positive, helpful reviews of papers, and not savage them or decline to publish based on minor points made by reviewers who hide behind anonymity. We carry a mix of longer papers up to 7500 words and shorter pieces of up to 3000 words, with timely opinion pieces and book review essays interspersed within the body of the main text of the journal. The journal comes out in print. See also our web site www.hugeog.com When we start making a surplus, we give it out in research grants to the kind of people who never get funded by the conventional agencies! Email Address: [log in to unmask] To subscribe send a check made out to Institute for Human Geography to IHG, P.O. Box 307, Bolton, Massachusetts, 01740-0307, USA. For individuals the cost is $40 a year. For libraries the cost is $100 a year for 2008 (two issues) and $150 for 2009 and subsequent years. You can subscribe on line at our web site.
