Book and media reviews in the ESA are not in a separate publication, but are distributed, as they are completed, to the appropriate journal. None were published this year and the Editor, Richard Zack, has resigned. The Associate Editor is currently accepting applications for editor. Progress toward development of the ESA Book Review web page was summarized and the 3-year review of reviews was discussed. Reviewers are being sought for the books and other media.
Books range from children's books to subspecialty items that include videos and computer programs.
As a compensation for completing this service to ESA the reviewer is allowed to keep the book. A list was circulated for Section B members interested in doing these reviews. There will also be a new associate editor for children's media. Applications are now being accepted for that position. A review of editorial policies was undertaken this year.
