CSCA - Book Review Call

The Central States Communication Association is pleased to continue the book review section to be included as a supplement to the association’s newsletter. This supplement will publish short reviews (of approximately 500 words for monographs and up to 1000 words for longer edited volumes) of recently published books of relevance to the membership of CSCA. 

Book review calls will be issued tri-annually for a list of books compiled by the Book Review Editor. Members may additionally make suggestions to the Book Review Editor for books that should be reviewed at any time and the Book Review Editor will determine their fit for the membership in consultation with the CSCA Executive Director. 

For this book review section (to be printed September 2015), I am currently seeking reviews for the following books: 

• Herbig, A., Herrmann, A. F., & Tyma, A. W., (2015). Beyond new media: Discourse and critique in a polymediated age: Lexington Books. 
  
  
• Vorell, M. S., Carmack, H. J., & Scarduzio, J. A. (2014). Surviving work: Toxic organizational communication: Kendall Hunt Publishing Company. 
  
  
• Remland, M. S., Jones, T. S., Foeman, A., & Arevalo, D. R. (2015). Intercultural communication: A peacebuilding perspective: Waveland Press Inc. 
  
  
• Duncan, A. M. (2015). Gambling with the myth of the American dream (Routledge research in Sport, Culture & Society). Taylor & Francis. 

Suggestions for additional books to review can also be made to the Book Review Editor. 

To be considered for a review, please contact sarahsteimel@weber.edu with:

1. Which book you want to review

2. A short explanation as to why that book fits within your area of knowledge/expertise. 

If selected to provide a book review, CSCA will provide the book to the reviewing author. 

Submissions should not be under review by other publications. Reviews must be written according to the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. The Book Review Editor reserves final discretion about the publication of all reviews.
