Call for Contributors: Seas and Waterways of the World encyclopedia
ABC-CLIO is currently producing, under the editorship of John Zumerchik, an encyclopedia entitled Seas and Waterways of the World: A Historical Encyclopedia of Transportation and Trade. There are a number of entries still to be written, and we are looking for qualified individuals to write on a variety of topics.
The entries will take a multidisciplinary historical approach to sea-dependent commerce, covering the aquarium, cruise, energy, fishing, insurance, mining, trade, transportation, recreation, and sport industries. Included will be significant coverage of bodies of water,
harbors, ports and coastal development since access to the waterfront has always had a significant influence on local and national economies. There also will be coverage of the more macro themes such as the rise and fall of the Erie Canal as the gateway to the Midwest, and the rise and recent problems faced by the Panama Canal.
If you are interested in finding out more information and/or receiving the list of entries available, please e-mail a copy of your c.v. to Dr. Steven Danver at sdanver@abc-clio.com.
