Subject: Elsevier writing project; looking for rangeland contribtuions

Dear colleagues,

In 2020 Elsevier is publishing the Encyclopedia of the World's Biomes (an effort similar to Encyclopedia of the Anthropocene<https://www.elsevier.com/books/encyclopedia-of-the-anthropocene/dellasala/978-0-12-809665-9>). I am editing two sections on Anthromes. The first is focused on different landscape types shaped by humans and nature; the second has a broader sustainability science focus that will cover topics ranging from seminal theory to leadership to education. Erle Ellis, who co-developed the idea of Anthromes, is contributing the first chapter of each section. Other confirmed authors include a global representation of faculty, researchers, and students from universities and research centers.



We are writing to see if you (and/or your current or recent students) would be interested in submitting a chapter in either volume extending from work on rangelands. I found your contact on the Global Rangelands website (https://globalrangelands.org/).  After briefly reviewing the site, it appears that many of the essays on the page would be ideal to adapt for this publication.  If you or a colleague are interested, please let me know via email ( john.quinn at furman.edu<http://furman.edu/>)



These are review articles and not original research. As such, we think they are a perfect output for the literature review done in preparation for a thesis, dissertation, or manuscript but that was cut for a concise introduction. The length of each article can be about 6-8 pages (approximately 5000 words) not including ~10 citations and tables and figures. The timeline for the work is about 3 months, with a final manuscript reviewed and approved by July 2019 (but sooner is always OK!). A small stipend and access to Elsevier's online database is provided. One additional benefit for any graduate student co-authors is that each chapter will be published online as it is completed, allowing work onto a CV before the entire print book is out.



If you think you might be interested and would like further information, please feel free to contact either of us.  Likewise, if you know someone else who might be interested in contributing a chapter, please feel free to share.



Thank you,
