H-SHERA Reviews

H-SHERA Reviews is recruiting new reviewers. It is a great way to promote the work of your colleagues and make a contribution to H-SHERA. Writing a book review for H-Net/H-SHERA is similar to writing a review for any academic paper periodical. The reviewer receives a hard copy of the book or an electronic copy (if she/he prefers and if it is available).
