[Energy] CALL FOR AUTHORS: Encyclopedia of Energy

[Joseph Golson]

Greetings,

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new reference work on
the role of energy in society to be published by Salem Press in 2012. This
comprehensive encyclopedia will be marketed and sold to high-school,
college, public, and academic libraries and includes 4 volumes of
approximately 600 articles.
 
>From Alaska to China to Brazil and around the world, energy is the fuel of
modern civilization. The United States alone, which constitutes 5 percent of
the world’s population, consumes 24 percent of the world’s energy. Tracing
the routes and roots of energy through history, especially since the
Industrial Revolution, and explaining the current levels of energy use and
production across the globe, this 4-volume encyclopedia will be the
definitive reference to essential energy and power information. From “clean
coal” to oil to windpower, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, the Encyclopedia of
Energy is a world round up of energy-related curricular disciplines,
including: history, sociology, environmentalism, public policy, science,
engineering, and business. Especially targeted toward high-school students,
this outstanding reference work is edited to tie into the high-school
curriculum, making the content readily accessible as well to patrons of
public, academic, and university libraries. Pedagogical elements include a
Topic Finder, Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, Appendix, and thorough
index. Presented in 4 volumes in an A-to-Z format, the Encyclopedia of
Energy is richly illustrated with photos, charts, and tables, all comprising
an unprecedented and unique resource.


We are now making new article assignments with a deadline of May 6, 2011.
 
Each article ranges from 600 to 3500 words and is signed by the contributor.
The General Editor for the encyclopedia is Dr. Morris A. Pierce, University
of Rochester, who will review all the articles for editorial content and
academic consistency.
 
If you are interested in contributing to the Encyclopedia of Energy, it can
be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your
publishing credits. Moreover, you can help ensure that accurate information
and important points of view are credibly presented to students and library
patrons. Compensation is an honorarium payment of $25 up to 1000 words; $35
from 1001 to 2500 words; and $45 above 2501 words.
 
The list of available articles, style guidelines, and sample article are
prepared and will be sent to you in response to your inquiry. Please then
select which unassigned articles may best suit your interests and expertise.
 
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
