Call for Book Reviewers

Published on October 28, 2011 in Book and Newsletter. 0 Comments Tags: .

Common Ground Publishing is seeking distinguished peer reviewers to evaluate book manuscripts submitted to the On Globalization Book Series.

As part of our commitment to intellectual excellence and a rigorous review process, Common Ground sends book manuscripts that have received initial editorial approval to peer reviewers to further evaluate and provide constructive feedback. The comments and guidance that these reviewers supply is invaluable to our authors and an essential part of the publication process.

Common Ground recognizes the important role of referees by acknowledging book reviewers as members of the On Globalization Book Series Editorial Review Board for a period of at least one year. The list of members of the Editorial Review Board will be posted on our website. In addition, Common Ground also offers a US$200 voucher for each completed review which meets the standards set out by the Commissioning Editor at the commencement of assignment. Vouchers may be used in the Common Ground Bookstore or for registration at one of our international conferences.

If you would like to referee book manuscripts submitted to On Globalization please email. Please make sure to include:

  1. a brief description of your professional credentials
  2. a list of your areas of interest and expertise
  3. a copy of your CV with current contact details

If we feel you are qualified and we require refereeing for manuscripts within your purview, we will contact you.

Obamaenon: The Gospel of ‘Glocal’ Change, Hope, Understanding, and Leadership for a Networking World

Published on January 19, 2011 in Book and Newsletter. 0 Comments

Obamaenon: The Gospel of ‘Glocal’ Change, Hope, Understanding, and Leadership for a Networking World by Zekeh Gbotokuma is now available from the On Globalization imprint.

The amazing life and career of the 44th U.S. President Barack Obama have inspired millions of people worldwide. They have made any information about this charismatic leader and Nobel laureate newsworthy. That is why there is a Japanese impersonator of Obama and France’s immigrants hope for their French Obama. OBAMÆNON is – unlike other publications about Obama – a must read book, because:

  • It functions as a button that allows the reader to replay, rewind, forward, pause, reflect on and learn from some of the euphoricmoments of Obama’s journey and rise to global super stardom.
  • Its reading is a rehersal for community organizing, bridge building, and global leadership.
  • It is a food for thought about global thinking and local action based on mutual interests, respect and human dignity.
  • It is a passport to global citizenship.
  • It is a recipe for developing a yes we can attitude, the art and strategy of winning.
  • It is a call to believe in oneself, in the power of audacious hope, collective effort, and diplomacy.
  • It is an invaluable contribution to the Obamarama and Obamamania.
  • It is an Obamafying work written by a global citizen and educator.

Series: On Globalization

Published on August 4, 2010 in Book and Newsletter. 0 Comments Tags: .

We are accepting book proposals for the imprint On Globalization.

Common Ground is setting new standards of rigorous academic knowledge creation and scholarly publication.

Unlike other publishers, we’re not interested in the size of potential markets or competition from other books. We’re only interested in the intellectual quality of the work.

If your book is a brilliant contribution to a specialist area of knowledge that only serves a small intellectual community, we still want to publish it. If it is expansive and has a broad appeal, we want to publish it too, but only if it is of the highest intellectual quality.
