[Geoffrey Wandesforde-Smith]

The Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy (JIWLP), a Taylor & Francis Informa publication, would like to find college/university faculty members or full time professional researchers to write book reviews of the titles listed, below.  (These book review commissions are not offered to graduate students). The books offered in this round are: Zafar Adeel (ed.), EAST ASIAN EXPERIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE: RESPONSE IN A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING REGION (United Nations University Press, 2003). Stephen Bocking, NATURE’S EXPERTS: SCIENCE, POLITICS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT (Rutgers University Press, 2004). Benjamin Cashore, Graeme Auld & Deanna Newsom, GOVERNING THROUGH MARKETS: FOREST CERTIFICATION & THE EMERGENCE OF NON-STATE AUTHORITY (2004). Michael M. Gunter, Jr., BUILDING THE NEXT ARK: HOW NGOs WORK TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY (Dartmouth College Press, 2004). Rögnvaldur Hannesson, THE PRIVATIZATION OF THE OCEANS (MIT Press, 2004). Melody Hessing, Rebecca Raglon & Catriona Sandilands (eds.), THIS ELUSIVE LAND: WOMEN & THE CANADIAN ENVIRONMENT (UBC Press, 2005). Norichika Kanie & Peter M. Haas (eds.), EMERGING FORCES IN ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE (United Nations University Press, 2004). Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, FRICTION: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF GLOBAL CONNECTION (Princeton University Press, 2005). Each review should be at least 900 to 1,000 words long and must be submitted for copy editing by April 30th, 2005 (or earlier).  Authors will assume responsibility for evaluating each book in the context of other recent and relevant publications. Prospective authors can also suggest longer book review essays of, perhaps, 3,000 to 4,000 words, the exact parameters to be negotiated. T & F Informa provide to authors 25 free offprint copies of reviews published in JIWLP.  Additional offprints can be purchased.  The footnote and citation style of JIWLP conforms to the legal Bluebook and is explained on the Journal's web site, http://www.jiwlp.com.  Copies of the books for review are provided and can be kept. Readers with a serious interest in these commissions should contact me by e-mail. Colleagues are encouraged to bring these opportunities to the attention of others who are not members of the gep-ed list.
