This comprehensive work will be published by Routledge, a leading U.S. publisher, in late 2003. We have had a generous and enthusiastic response from the scholarly community. Over 70% of the articles have been assigned and some 30% have already been written. Contributors will be paid an honorarium in addition to receiving a free set (estimated retail value: $425). The Encyclopedia provides an unprecedented range of authoritative information about the history of human interaction with nature, around the world and across cultures. It contains some 300 signed articles written by experts - nearly one million words - along with hundreds of illustrations, sidebars of primary source material, and appendices to aid in research, teaching, and comparative study. The intellectual aspects of the project are being directed by an interdisciplinary editorial board of leading scholars, led by Shepard Krech III, John McNeill, and Carolyn Merchant. You can read more about them and details of the encyclopedia's coverage at our website Encyclopedia of World Environmental History <http://www.berkshirepublishing.com/brw/pjdescr.asp?projID=15>. Please send a message telling us of your areas of research and interest, along with a paragraph about your position and publications (we do not need a CV at this stage), to our project coordinator, Elizabeth Eno, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Liz will be glad to send you a short list of topics that remain.
