Paleonet: Invitation to review books for Priscum

Thu Jun 16 15:52:33 UTC 2016

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://paleosoc.org/programs/publications/. 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/. (In most cases, the cost of the reviewed book is greater than membership cost.)

If you are interested in reviewing one of these books, please contact book review editor Phil Novack-Gottshall at pnovack-gottshall at ben.edu<mailto: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
