The reputation of the Award is built on the high quality of your publications and your commitment to work with important scholars in the field. Today I write to encourage you to submit books you have published or released during 2019-2020 for consideration for the Harold & Margaret Sprout Award, which was established in 1972 and named in honor of two pioneers in the study of international environmental problems. The Award is given each year for the best book in Environmental Studies by the International Studies Association (ISA), the world’s largest and most prominent scholarly organization dedicated to international studies. The Award is sponsored by the Environmental Studies Section, 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. For a list of previous winners of the award, please visit the website of ISA’s Environmental Studies. Section at http://environmental-studies.org/?page_id=545. Nominated works must be published during 2019 or 2020.
