The Journal of Community Engagement and Scholarship (JCES, from the University of Alabama) is accepting book reviews for the inaugural issue to be published October, 2008. Books published within and across all academic areas are welcomed (for example, social work, agricultural science, psychology, education, medicine, law, health, the visual and performing arts, music, engineering, criminal justice, anthropology, etc.). Book reviews submitted to the JCES should advance the JCES readership's knowledge of scholarship and practice within the area of community engagement and scholarship, and provide an insightful and instructive commentary on the work reviewed. Book reviews should indicate to whom the text may be of interest, should provide a summary of the text, and should provide an integrated discussion of the strengths and limitations of the text. Book reviews can focus on recent publications as well as those texts that are deemed foundational to community engagement scholarship and practice. Suggestions for books to be reviewed in future issues of the JCES are welcome. In order to be considered for publication in the inaugural issue of JCES, reviews must be received by September 3rd, 2008. Reviews should be between 750 to 1,250 words in length and should be formatted according to the APA Publication manual (5th edition). Book reviewers should supply a separate cover sheet with the name(s), affiliations(s), and other identifying information and contact information (address, phone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses). The cover sheet and review must be submitted electronically to jces@bama.ua.edu. Confirmation of receipt of submissions will be sent within one week of receipt. Notification of acceptance of book reviews for publication will be sent within three weeks of receipt. Questions regarding the structure and submission of book reviews should be directed to the JCES Book Review Editor at hpleasan@bamaed.ua.edu. (Thanks, Jan Cohen-Cruz.)
