As a humanist and author of several books, I have a deep appreciation for the time & effort faculty invest in sharing their scholarship through books. The publication of a book for faculty often represents the culmination of many years of hard work.
It is through books that much of the academic conversations in these fields take place. And it can take years before you have a sense of how your scholarship is received, as your peers study and respond to your work.
