Posted on April 1, 2014 by stuartelden

There are tributes at France Culture and Liberation.

Stanford Briefs – manuscripts in the humanities wanted

Posted on April 1, 2014 by stuartelden

Stanford University Press have an imprint for shorter texts with a much quicker turnaround from acceptance to publication – Stanford Briefs.

She is now “actively seeking submissions with broad appeal in the humanities to complement her forthcoming titles in religion, philosophy, literature, cultural studies, and the arts. The other important info for authors is that we have good royalties, quick time to publication, good price points, and that the books are available digitally as well as in print”. More details here.

****

 

It is my great pleasure to announce that the editorial board of the Critical Edition of Whitehead has come to an agreement with Edinburgh University Press to publish the print edition of the published and unpublished works of Alfred North Whitehead. Moreover, through an agreement with Oxford University Press, it is anticipated that the Edition will also be available through Oxford Scholarly Editions Online.

 

We propose to inaugurate the Critical Edition of Whitehead with several volumes of unpublished and largely unknown materials, including : (a) one volume of heretofore unpublished and largely un-interpreted correspondence between Whitehead and many of the leading figures in science, mathematics, and philosophy…
