CALL FOR AUTHORS

        The American publisher ABC-Clio plans to publish Alcohol and Temperance in
Modern History: An International Encyclopedia in two volumes of 250,000
words each in the Fall of 2003.  This project represents an extraordinary
opportunity for alcohol and temperance history researchers to present the
fruits of our labours to a larger public.  In addition to laying out
factual information on all aspects of drinking and temperance, the
Encylopedia aims to demonstrate the wide variety of forms that drinking,
temperance and regulation of drinking have taken around the world.
Considerable space, however, will be devoted to developments in the
English-speaking world, where scholarship on alcohol and temperance history
is most abundant at this time.
        The Encyclopedia will be edited by general co-editors Jack Blocker, David
Fahey and Ian Tyrrell, assisted by an advisory board which includes leading
figures in ATHG: Charles Ambler, David Gutzke, Dwight Heath, Jon Miller,
Patricia Prestwich, Robin Room, and Cheryl Warsh.
        Authors are sought for topics not yet assigned.  Those whose articles are
accepted for publication in the Encyclopedia will be compensated with a
copy of the Encyclopedia or a modest stipend per page.  Authors will be
given at least four months to write and submit their articles.
        A full description of the project and a list of headwords not yet assigned
may be found at the Encyclopedia website:
