This new work is being developed for high school and college students as well as the educated layperson. It will be a successor to the Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (ESS, 1930-1935) and the initial set of the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (IESS, 1968) - two groundbreaking Macmillan works that "established standards for knowledge in social science research and practice" (CHOICE, 2001). This set will be updated to cover scholarship and new fields that have been established since the publication of the original edition. > > > > The social sciences were defined in ESS as "mental or cultural sciences that deal with the activities of the individual as a member or group." The usual disciplines associated with the social sciences - including political science, geography, history, economics, law, anthropology, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and statistics - will be studied. Yet, because subject matter that fits into the category of social sciences evolves in parallel with societal changes, new fields of study, issues, and concepts will be added, such as censorship, income distribution, cultural relativism, culture of poverty, same-sex marriage, and psychological and economic aspects of aging. Recognizing the important impact individuals and their specific studies have made to the social sciences, the new set will feature numerous biographical entries of past and contemporary contributors to the field. > > > > Below is an assignment list (Schedule A), which indicates the article the editors would like you to contribute, its desired length, date of completion, and a description of its contents.

Please contact me if you have questions concerning the assignment. I would be happy to discuss a revision of deadlines in order to accommodate your writing schedule. It is our policy not to remove an author's name from our list of potential contributors until we are notified that he or she cannot participate in the project.
