I'm very happy to pass this on, on behalf of Dr. Rasha Abdulla (one of the contributors to our special issue of JCMC (vol. 12, no. 3) on religion and the Internet) - charles ess Dr. Rasha Abdulla, rasha@aucegypt.edu <mailto:rasha@aucegypt.edu> Call for Papers related to computer-mediated communication (Apologies for cross-postings) Dear colleagues, I have been assigned as editor of a new monthly book series aimed at the youth audiences in Egypt and relating to computers, the Internet, and computer-mediated communication in general. If you have a monograph, book chapter, or article on the subject that you would like to see published or re-published in Arabic for Egyptian audiences, please contact me. We will do the translation and all aspects of design at no cost to the author, who will (of course) have his/her name on the cover of the book. There is also a small honorarium for the author. The manuscript could be written specifically for our series, or it could be an already existing publication in English. It would be especially interesting if the manuscript tackles an aspect of computer-mediated communication as it relates to the Arab world, but this is not necessary. The series will cover a broad range of topics related to CMC and meant for a general audience. The new book series is a publication of the Egyptian Authority for Cultural Palaces, which is affiliated with the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. The book series aims at increasing knowledge and penetration of computer- and Internet use in Egypt, and at generating high readership rates of such topics. As such, books will be sold to the public at a nominal fee of about 1 to 5 Egyptian pounds (about 20 cents to under a dollar). If you are interested in becoming part of this effort and getting published in a different language, or if you have any questions or comments, please contact me at rasha@aucegypt.edu <mailto:rasha@aucegypt.edu> Thank you very much. -- Rasha A.
