Books Available for Review

MIA receives review copies of recent publications from a number of publishers, and these can be made available to reviewers who will undertake to produce the review within the stated time. The policy is to publish many short reviews of two types:

Booknotes—must concisely assess and summarise the book, maximum length 200 words;
Reviews—must critically analyse the style and the major issues dealt with in the book, maximum length 500 words.

Reviewers are typically members of the academic community, including postgraduates. We also encourage our colleagues in industry to contribute to this part of the journal. A styleguide for reviewers is available here.

If you are interested in reviewing any of these books, please contact the Book Review Editor, Susan Bye s.bye@latrobe.edu.au.
