We hope readers have been enjoying H-Midwest's small but growing collection of academic book reviews. In order to keep the collectiong growing, we are seeking a few more Book Review Editors to join us.
H-ANZAU is pleased to announce the revival of our network's own book reviews program. H-Net Reviews play an increasingly prominent role in academic discussions, taking advantage of the flexibility and relative speed of online publication while maintaining the highest scholarly standards. Under the H-Commons platform, list editors can easily crosspost reviews from other networks, expanding the potential readership for reviews published on our network.
