[LTER-pub] Hubbard Brook: The Story of a Forest Ecosystem

[Foster, David R.]

Hi Marty

The esteemed members of this self-described critically important committee are Alan Knapp, Dan Reed and David Foster.

Perhaps the e-list helps to explain why we never get any new business…..!  (I am not very reliable).

This is an interesting request as authors are expected to apply in advance of publication.  Among other things that allows the books to include the LTER logo and a nice description of the LTER program .  Many are published by Oxford but others have come from other presses.

We have had our HF volume (2004), Hemlock (2014), and Martha’s Vineyard<http://mvlandandsea.com/> (2017) included in this series and they were published by Yale.

My guess is that my remark to Jean Black (editor for Holmes and Likens as well as our books) that it was a shame that Gene did not seek this out may have been one stimulus for this request.  (My personal thought was that this is a quintessential LTER volume that will rack up strong sales and would have been a great advertisement for the LTER program).

But, I will defer to the committee chair, Alan Knapp, who can explain that we review the volumes and pass them on with a recommendation to the Exec Board.

Best, David

Dear Publications Committee--

I received a request from Richard Holmes and Gene Likens to add Hubbard Brook: The Story of a Forest Ecosystem, which came out in May, to the LTER Book series.

That is, I assume, a matter for the publications committee. I could also use a little update on the status of the publications committee. The e-mail list I have includes:

Foster, David (drfoster at fas.harvard.edu<mailto:drfoster at fas.harvard.edu>) - HFR
Robertson, Phil (robert30 at msu.edu<mailto:robert30 at msu.edu>) - KBS
Waide, Robert (rwaide at lternet.edu<mailto:rwaide at lternet.edu>) - LNO
Gosz, James (jgosz at uidaho.edu<mailto:jgosz at uidaho.edu>) - NWK

But the intranet page (http://intranet2.lternet.edu/committees/publications<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__intranet2.lternet.edu_committees_publications&d=CwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=xIeiKRrGR3JUtk1EX57jFloZPjsen3VUc_5yNVduRwQ&m=-QCOApWS9voiJ3svSdBNtiku1ez7soL_y-4_E92JtlI&s=W2_1Rdid9nWRj9izDWqErPCBz4DSwbrP_GSxDr3V7EM&e=>) lists Alan Knapp as the chair. I'm happy to update that, but want to be sure I have the correct information.

Can you confirm the membership and leadership of the committee? And let me know if you want to include the Hubbard Brook book as part of the LTER series.

Thanks, Marty

Dear Marty,

I’m enclosing a press release about a new book that Gene Likens and I have just written about the long-term research at Hubbard Brook, which is an LTER site (HBR).  The book is titled “Hubbard Brook: The Story of a Forest Ecosystem,” and was published earlier this summer by Yale University Press.  Since the book summarizes and highlights long-term studies at HBR, could an announcement about its availability be included in an upcoming issue of the LTER newsletter?  Also, would it be appropriate to add it to the LTER Book Series?

Thanks for any help with getting the word out about this new publication from HBR.

With best regards,

Richard T. Holmes
