Charles Scribner's Sons is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication—in December 2004—of the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (originally published in 1968, Philip P. Wiener, Editor-in-Chief). The New DHI appraises new thinking in areas previously covered (communism, linguistics, physics) and addresses new topics (post-colonialism, deconstruction, genetics, postmodernism, queer theory). With the new edition we seek to present cross-cultural perspectives on the history of ideas, and the edition will be gender-inclusive and global. A distinguished team of scholars from around the world explores the impact of ideas from Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. We have been inviting authors to contribute articles and have edited most of the articles already; yet we still have some topics available and would be happy to consider any potential authors. Historians interested in contributing should send an e-mail with a c.v. to Editor-in-Chief Maryanne Cline Horowitz (Department of History, Occidental College) at horowitz@oxy.edu.
