From: Gerd Bayer <gerd_bayer@hotmail.com>

Authors are sought for a few remaining chapters of the Europe volume of the
Encyclopedia of World Popular Culture, a six-volume set under contract 
with the
Greenwood Publishing Group.

Each volume will consist of narrative chapters, similar in style and 
scope to
the individual entries in the "American Popular Culture through History" 
series
(also Greenwood). Starting with the onset of mass media culture during 
the turn
of the 19th to the 20th century, each essay should provide an overview 
over its
topic, covering all European countries. The average length of entries 
will be
between 12,500 and 13,000 words, including notes and a resource guide. The
submission deadline for completed essays is September 30, 2005. Upon 
publication
of the volume, Greenwood will pay authors an honorarium.

The following chapters need assignments:

* Architecture
* Love, Sex & Marriage
* Sports
* Transportation & Travel

Interested authors should provide evidence of research background in their
respective fields. For questions and further information, or to request an
assignment, contact the volume editor by August 15, 2005:
