Paleonet: Invitation to review books for Priscum (newsletter of Paleontological Society)

[Novack-Gottshall, Philip M.]

Dear PaleoNet members:

The following volumes are available to Paleontological Society members
in exchange for writing a review in Priscum, the PS newsletter.

Reviews should be informative and engaging and between 400-800 words
long. The tone can be informal and casual, appropriate to recommending
or critiquing a book to friendly colleagues. (Longer reviews are
allowed, but please alert before submitting review.) Past Priscum book
reviews can be found in past issues at
http://www.paleosoc.org/publications.html. Reviews should be submitted
by December 1 for inclusion in the winter issue or May 1 for inclusion
in the spring/summer issue.

For reviews of specialized monographs, it is requested that reviewers
have expertise or experience in the taxonomic or stratigraphic group
under study.

Please note that reviewers must be a current member of the
Paleontological Society before beginning review. Membership can be made
or renewed at http://www.paleosoc.org/.

If you are interested in reviewing one of these books, please contact
book review editor Phil Novack-Gottshall at pnovack-gottshall at ben.edu
(please do not reply to this listserv!) and arrangements will be made
for delivery and further details on review requirements and timeline.

Sincerely,
Phil Novack-Gottshall
Book-Review Editor, Priscum
