“What Diplomats Do”: Information for university teachers and book reviewers about new book
This information is for university teachers of diplomacy or international affairs, and for editors and book reviewers. It supplements the information about What Diplomats Do, Brian Barder’s new book, now available at the publishers’ (Rowman & Littlefield) website, at https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781442226357; on my previous blog post at https://barder.com/4229; and in a new section on my website, starting at https://barder.com/wdd/.
University teachers who are considering whether to include What Diplomats Do in their students’ recommended or required course reading lists, or who have decided to do so, can request a free copy (“desk copy”, “inspection copy” or “exam copy”) from the publishers in order to assess it.
Similarly, editors of academic or general interest publications or their book review editors and reviewers may request a free review copy from the publishers, Rowman & Littlefield.
(University teachers and editors or reviewers may wish first to read the two sample chapters available in full online — see links at https://barder.com/wdd/.)
The following information about how to apply for free copies can be found on the publishers’ website:
For university teachers:
The first thing to do is to visit the Rowman & Littlefield website at https://rowman.com/RLPublishers. On the left-hand side, under “textbooks”, there is a tab with “Exam copies” and “desk copies” requests (https://rowman.com/Page/Professors).
Complimentary desk copies will be provided only when the book is assigned as a required purchase for your students.
We offer examination copies of our textbooks. Many of our titles are available as free examination copies or as e-exams. For titles that are not earmarked as a free exam, we will give careful consideration to each request. Please note that we allow a maximum of 3 titles to be examined.
