West Virginia University Press will exhibit at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association January 7­­–9 in Atlanta. Stop by booth 1709 to meet our director, Derek Krissoff.

While you’re there you can check out WVU’s latest titles in history, including George Washington Written Upon the Land by Philip Levy, a book that contributes to studies of historical memory, landscape and environmental studies, and “big” history. Ari Kelman, winner of the Bancroft Prize for A Misplaced Massacre, calls the book “extraordinary” and says is it “casts one of the most famous and influential figures in American history in an entirely new light.”

You can also learn more about two new book series. Histories of Capitalism and the Environment is edited by Bart Elmore, author of Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca Cola Capitalism. Brian Black – author of many books on environment and energy, including Petrolia: The Landscape of America's First Oil Boom – edits our other new series, Energy and Society.

We’re excited to roll out these important new series and books and look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.
