**** Harold and Margaret Sprout Award****
ISA-ESS members and others who know of books, or have published books of
their own, that they wish to see nominated for the Harold and Margaret
Sprout Award are encouraged to contact publishers as soon as possible.
The award is sponsored by the Environmental Studies Section (ESS) of the
International Studies Association (ISA), and is given to the best book
in the field, one that makes a contribution to theory and
interdisciplinarity, shows rigor and coherence in research and writing,
and offers accessibility and practical relevance. Nominated books should
address some aspect of one or more environmental, pollution or resource
issues from a broadly international or transnational perspective,
including works in (for example) global, interstate, transboundary,
North-South, foreign policy, comparative or area studies. Environmental
subjects of books can include (for example) environmental law,
diplomacy, transnational activism, natural resource use, global change,
sustainable development, biodiversity, transboundary pollution control,
and the like.
Nominated works must be published during 2010 or 2011. Books with a 2012
copyright date are welcome provided the committee members receive them
in time. Each publisher may nominate more than one book, and books
nominated last year can be re-nominated. The committee members will
begin reading the books as soon as they arrive. The award will be
presented at the annual meeting of the ISA in San Diego in April 2012,
but the committee must complete its review and reach a decision by
November 2011. For this reason, we need to receive notice of nominations
and copies of nominated books by 1 August 2011.
Publishers wishing to nominate books should send one copy of each book
to each member of the Sprout Award Committee:
