Review a Book for the CSCA Newsletter!

The Central States Communication Association is pleased to continue the book-review section to be included as a supplement to the association’s   newsletter. This supplement will publish short reviews (of approximately 500 words for monographs and up to 1000 words for longer edited volumes ) of recently published books of relevance to the membership of CSCA.
 
Book review calls will be issued tri-annually for a list of books complied by the book-review editor. Members may additionally make suggestions to the editor for books that should be reviewed at any time and the editor will determine their fit for the membership in consultation with the CSCA Executive Director.
 
For this book-review section (to be printed July 2015), I am currently seeking reviews for the following books:

• Teaching Communication Activism: Communication Education for Social Justice (Eds. Frey & Palmer )
• Beyond New Media: Discourse and Critique in a Polymediated Age (Eds. Herbig, Herrmann, & Tyma)
• Contemporary Case Studies in Health Communication: Theoretical and Applied Approaches (Ed. Brann)
• Engaging Theories in Interpersonal Communication: Multiple Perspectives (2nd ed.; Eds. Braithwaite & Schrodt)
• Gender in a Transitional Era: Changes and Challenges (Eds. Martinez & Miller)
• Volunteering and communication Volume II: Studies in intercultural and international contexts (Eds. Kramer, Lewis & Gossett)**
• Volunteering and communication Volume I: Studies from Multiple Contexts**
  (**One person could review both volumes, or two authors could divide the volumes, but collaborate on their reviews to tell us how the volumes speak to/work with one another)
• Revolution Mass Media [textbook] (J. Charles Sterin)

Suggestions for additional books to review can also be made to the book-review editor.
 
To be considered for a review, please contact the book-review editor at sarahsteimel@weber.edu with:

1. Which book you want to review
2. A short explanation as to why that book fits within your area of knowledge/expertise.

If selected to provide a book review, CSCA will provide the book to the reviewing author.
 
Submissions should not be under review by other publications. Reviews must be written according to the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.  The editor reserves final discretion about the publication of all reviews.
