Call for Contributors Encyclopedia of Asia We invite you to take part in
an important new project, the six-volume Encyclopedia of Asia.
Coverage includes social and cultural topics as well as contemporary
issues and current events, including medicine, religion, technology,
political and human rights, ethnic relations, education, family,
arts, environment, sports, and cuisines. We have had a generous and enthusiastic response from the scholarly community. Over 90% of the 3,100 articles are assigned and some 55% have already been written. The Encyclopedia is well underway for publication in 2002 by Scribners, New York. A board of Asia scholars is supervising the project, and David Levinson is the project director. He is a cultural anthropologist and served as editor-in-chief of several major reference works, including the ten-volume Encyclopedia of World Cultures (Macmillan 1991-5), the four-volume Encyclopedia of Cultural Anthropology (Henry Holt 1995), and the recently published two-volume Encyclopedia of Human Emotions (Macmillan 1999). Listed below is the latest unassigned headword list for Central Asia. Please contact June Kim at june@berkshirepublishing.com if you are interested in writing any of them. Also, if you have colleagues who specialize in other areas of Asia, especially the Koreas, Southwest Asia, and Southeast Asia, we would be most grateful for your recommendations. Berkshire Reference Works has expanded to form Berkshire Publishing Group LLC, an information company creating dynamic print and electronic publications that illuminate the human experience and contemporary issues.
