Hi GEP-Ed folks, My sincere apologies for the redundancy. It was pointed out to me that the e-mail link for Tony Rosenbaum in the body of my previous message was nonfunctional. His e-mail address is in the cc line above and is [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
Thanks, Rich From: Wallace, Richard Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:35 AM To: GEP-Ed List Cc: 'Walter A. Rosenbaum' Subject: AESS Journal Seeks Your Help! Dear GEP-Ed Folks: I write on behalf of the Editor-in-Chief of the new Journal for Environmental Studies and Sciences (JESS), the quarterly flagship publication of the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS). The first issue of JESS will appear in March 2011. The journal will be available in both electronic and (optional) hard copy. The new Journal is seeking reviewers and book review editors. The journal provides a credible, peer-reviewed forum for the publication and dissemination of articles and other contributions distinguished by interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, or cross-disciplinary environmental content. JESS is produced by Springer Publications and edited by Walter "Tony" Rosenbaum, Emeritus Director of the University of Florida's public policy center. The Board of Editors includes distinguished scholars, policy practitioners, consultants, and other experts from a broad array of disciplines and institutions associated with environmental affairs. The current Board roster is attached, and is also available on the Journal website at www.springer.com/environment/journal/13412<https://legacy.mail.ufl.edu/OWA/redir.aspx?C=74b1217ad45942caa03a2672dfcf04f4&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.springer.com%2fenvironment%2fjournal%2f13412>. AESS is committed to promoting and improving the rich diversity of activities associated with interdisciplinary environmental science and study. The Association and the flagship Journal are intended to reach an international constituency and to provide a venue for publications, conferences, discourse, advocacy, and related activities inherent to interdisciplinary environmental matters. Association membership includes individuals representing academic and governmental positions, research, policy practice and advocacy, the fine arts, public education, the humanities and related environmental activities. Initial response to AESS has been encouraging. Since its founding in 2009, AESS has grown to more than 800 members, a substantial proportion representing numerous academic Environmental Studies programs. We are hoping that there are some among you who would be interested in occasionally reviewing manuscripts or serving as a book review editor for JESS. Expectations for all reviewers should be reasonable, with respect for the considerable personal and professional responsibilities already common to good journal reviewers. Editorial Board members will occasionally receive a request to review a manuscript or to suggest other reviewers, and knowing there are some of you out there willing to help would be a great boon to the journal. Book Review editors will have available books and administrative assistance through the JESS administrative offices at the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) in Washington DC. Review Editors are also encouraged to initiate book reviews, to commission or write review essays, and to join other Associate Editors in developing Journal editorial policy. Individuals interested in helping to oversee book reviews or review manuscripts should contact the Editor-in-Chief at [email protected]<https://legacy.mail.ufl.edu/OWA/redir.aspx?C=74b1217ad45942caa03a2672dfcf04f4&URL=mailto%3atonyros%40ufl.edu>. Either Tony or I are happy to answer questions about this request, or the journal more generally. Thank you for your time and consideration, and apologies for cross-postings (we're sending this message to the GEP-Ed and NEES lists). Sincerely, Rich -- Richard L.
