University press spotlight

All editors and most reporters know the invaluable contributions made by The Poynter Institute with its seminars, education materials, and Web sites.

Now, the University Press of Florida has produced a compendium of essays from the institute, as edited by Roy Peter Clark and Cole Campbell.

The Values and Craft of American Journalism (0813028477) releases in May and serves as an idealistic, yet practical guide for journalism scholars, analysts, students, and professionals. To make it available to as many folks as possible, UPF has published it in paperback at $24.95.

Also available from this fine university press from their spring list:

Big Dish: Building America's Deep Space Connection to the Planets (0813028051)
Before and After Jamestown: Virginia's Powhatans and Their Predecessors (0813028175)
Biblical Interpretation and Middle East Policy: The Promised Land, America, and Israel, 1917-2002 (0813027985)
Unlocking the Past: Celebrating Historical Archaeology in North America (0813027969)

For Patron Passport members, we invite you to join us during this time of year when we are receiving our publishers' lists. Come in, sit down, and preview the books coming out in February, March, and later and help us as we craft the inventory for a new season.
