                          Announcement 
 
The Social Science History Association announces the annual 
President's Book Award of $1,000 for a new manuscript. 
 
The prize is intended to reward an especially meritorious first 
work by a beginning scholar.  Entrants will be judged on the 
criteria of scholarly significance, interdisciplinary reach, and 
methodological innovativeness, within the broad category of 
monographs analyzing past structures and events and change over 
time.  SSHA invites studies of family and demography, popular 
mentalities, political economy, state-society relationships, 
electoral and legislative behavior, and the history of the social 
and behavioral sciences.  Other substantive realms may also be 
represented.  The Association includes in consideration 
theoretically-informed accounts examined from quantitative, 
interpretive, and other perspectives. 
 
Manuscripts can be under consideration by a press at the time of 
submission to the award committee but a book must not be in print 
before the prized is awarded on October 12, 1996.  A letter from 
the press stating that the manuscript will not be published before 
October 12, 1996 will be required.
