Greetings,
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new reference work on consumption and waste, or the social science of garbage. This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and digital product available to students via the librarys electronic services. The General Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. William Rathje, emeritus University of Arizona, the top scholar in the field. If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature, redefining sociological issues in todays terms. Moreover, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more. The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications. As we are nearing the final deadline, we are now making assignments for new authors due November 29, 2010. The remaining and available articles have been pasted below. If interested, please select from this list and contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related issues. Thanks very much.
