BOOK REVIEW:
Eleanor Harman, Ian Montagnes, Siobhan McMenemy and Chris Bucci
The Thesis and the Book: A Guide for First-Time Academic Authors
The Thesis and the Book: A Guide for First-Time Academic Authors contains a great deal of information and useful advice for both
the novice and professional academic writers alike. It was originally written
for graduate students as a "how to" guide to assist with the
"publish or perish" academic world.
This revised edition of the original published back in 1976 superimposes the
previous one by revising and expanding existing chapters to meet today's
publishing demands. The original edition was composed of articles taken from Scholarly Publishing, now known as the Journal of Scholarly Publishing.

Veltri awarded $750 TAA Publication Grant
Barbara Veltri, Ed.D., assistant professor in the College of Barbara Veltri, Ed.D  | Education at Northern Arizona University, has been awarded a $750 grant from to TAA to cover graphic design, photographic, and editing costs for her new academic book, Learning on Other People's Kids: Becoming a Teach for America Teacher, published by Information Age Publishing (Charlotte, NC) in 2010.
"I am so grateful for this grant!" said Veltri. "I am a junior faculty member in a state that has faced fiscal emergency since I arrived nearly four years ago. Not only was my salary flat (no raises) but all faculty and staff were impacted by mandatory furlough which means that my salary was actually reduced. The TAA grant provided me with a light at the end of the financial tunnel."
