In addition to our thematic essays, Human Rights & Human Welfare also publishes Book Notes. These brief pieces (i.e., 500-750 words) are intended to provide the busy reader a thorough annotation of the contents of recently published materials, including the reviewer's assessment of the audiences that would benefit most from the material, its contribution to the field, and its overall usefulness and readability.

The Editors have chosen a number of titles that we have recently received from publishers for review as Book Notes. We would also like to encourage our readership to consider writing a Book Note covering any of a number of recently published reports and other materials.

The Editors also encourage unsolicited Notes, as long as we do not anticipate a review essay or book note on the same material. Send these directly to Editor Sarah Bania-Dobyns.
