The American Academy Of Political And Social Science In The Twenty-First Century, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

One of the fixtures in academic publishing for decades was the familiar and stark orange cover of the Annals of the American Academy, with no mitigating photo or illustration. The first departure from this august tradition was occasioned by a volume that David Merchant and I produced, and was accompanied by some thoughts on the future that not only appeared in the Annals but were featured for a long time on the Academy web site. The shocked reacton among some of the fellows that the new cover produced would make a movie.
