Dear Colleagues, It's the time of the year to renew the call for nominations for next year's Sprout Award. If you or someone you know has just published a book please make sure to ask the publisher to submit it for the award. All details are below.
Please forward this message to your networks to ensure that good books are nominated! Best regards, Heike Schroeder **Harold and Margaret Sprout Award** ISA-ESS members and others who know of books, or have published books of their own, that they wish to see nominated for the Harold and Margaret Sprout Award are encouraged to contact publishers as soon as possible. The award is sponsored by the Environmental Studies Section (ESS) of the International Studies Association (ISA), and is given to the best book in the field, one that makes a contribution to theory and interdisciplinarity, shows rigor and coherence in research and writing, and offers accessibility and practical relevance. Nominated books should address some aspect of one or more environmental, pollution or resource issues from a broadly international or transnational perspective, including works in (for example) global, interstate, transboundary, North-South, foreign policy, comparative or area studies. Environmental subjects of books can include (for example) environmental law, diplomacy, transnational activism, natural resource use, global change, sustainable development, biodiversity, transboundary pollution control, and the like. Nominated works must be published during 2012 or 2013. Books with a 2014 copyright date are welcome provided the committee members receive them in time. Each publisher may nominate more than one book, and books nominated last year can be re-nominated. The committee members will begin reading the books as soon as they arrive. The committee must complete its review and reach its decision in November 2013. The award will be presented at the annual meeting of the ISA in Montreal in March 2011. Therefore, we need to RECEIVE notice of nominations and receive copies of nominated books by 1 August 2013. Publishers wishing to nominate books should send one copy of each book to EACH member of the Sprout Award Committee. The names and addresses of committee members are listed below.
