Charlie Chester has organized the 2008 Convention’s program with bookmarks pointing to environmental panels. Download the file, open it, and click on the “Booknarks” tab on the left side of the screen to navigate the document. An excerpt of his message to the GEP-ED list: “I spent some time bookmarking the environmental sessions in the 622 (!) page “preliminary program,” and realized that some of you might find my procrastinating on useful activities somewhat helpful. Please note that this is NOT comprehensive–I gave up on page 464 when I realized that I would not have the patience to spend Saturday indoors. Also, I skimmed through it quite quickly, so I’m sure I’ve missed a session or two (or more).”

The Harold and Margaret Sprout Award was established in 1972 and named in honor of two pioneers in the study of international environmental problems. The award is sponsored by the Environmental Studies Section, and is given annually to the best book in the field – one that makes a contribution to theory and interdisciplinarity, shows rigor and coherence in research and writing, and offers accessibility and practical relevance. A $500.00 (USD) cash prize is awarded from the ISA General Account. When nominating an author, please submit a copy of the book to each member of the Committee. The nomination deadline is 1 December 2007.
