Dear Colleagues: Recently, an honor student working with me on a biographical project on an environmentalist noticed that shortly after the appearance of several major scholarly books on this subject, a plethora of books, mostly (but not exclusively) directed for children appeared. After consulting with an archivist where a substantial amount of the environmentalist materials are housed, the archivist confirmed that in the 1990's calls were pouring in requesting materials on the environmentalist more or less after the appearance of one of the scholarly books.
Suddenly, I began to wonder if this is a publication trend I may not have noticed namely, after a scholarly work is published, (generally other) writers proceed to prepare literature for the broad public. If you have thoughts supporting or opposing that speculation, please send me an email to blayjo...@gmail.com Gratefully and respectfully, Jorge Jorge A. Santiago-Blay, PhD blaypublishers.com 1.
