Reviews of Book-Length Publications

     The CSIG has initiated scholarly reviews of current book-length publications that focus on, or contain information about, terracotta figurines in an effort to promote coroplastic studies through peer reviews accessible through the CSIG website. The first reviews will appear on the website this summer (2010).

      Professors Maya B. Muratov (Adelphi University, mmuratov@adelphi.edu) and Ioannis Mylonopoulos (Columbia University, jm3193@columbia.edu) are the current book review editors for the CSIG. Although the editors will contact publishers and relevant institutions informing them of this CSIG initiative, the editors also are requesting publications for review directly from CSIG members and ask that they assist in publicizing this new endeavor of the CSIG among colleagues and institutions.

      Review copies should be sent to one of the editors, but under no circumstances directly to possible reviewers. Following the example of the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, there will be a list of books received at the end of every issue. However, it will be the responsibility of the CSIG book review editors to contact an appropriate reviewer from among the members of the CSIG and request a respective review. Only in those rare cases where reviewers cannot be found among the members of the CSIG will the editors contact scholars who are not members of the Group.

     Although the exact time allotted for the completion of a review has yet to be determined definitively, reviews should reach the editors within four to six months after receiving the review copy.
