Dear all,
As the new academic year gathers pace I imagine a fair few list-members
will be setting up a reading group or making suggestions for new books
for existing reading groups to discuss.
This email is directed to anyone who is in a particularly active reading
group and thinks the book they are proposing to read (ideally published
very recently) would make a good subject for an edited panel of book
reviews for the RGS publication Area. I am actively seeking ideas and
contributions (3-4 pieces about the same book or books related by a
shared debate)where the aim is to move beyond desriptive reviews to
something more akin to commentary or
'rant'(polite/constructive/considered) about new directions in the
discipline! Please contact me if you have an idea for a book to be
reviewed - [log in to unmask] All your ideas for contributions are
very welcome - though unfortunately I can't respond to unsolicited
reviews.
Many thanks,
Helen
Book Reviews Editor (Human) for the RGS-IBG publications Area and
