CAMPAIGN - THE RHINOCEROS OF SOUTH ASIA
$10,000 RAISED - JOIN US
CAMPAIGN FOR OPEN ACCESS OF THE E-BOOK VERSION UNTIL 26 AUGUST 2023
http://www.rhinoresourcecenter.c.../about/news.php
TO BE PUBLISHED BY BRILL IN EARLY 2024
in the series EMERGENCE OF NATURAL HISTORY https://brill.com/display/serial/ENH
Hardback and E-Book (PDF)
This is a major reference work about the Greater One-Horned, Javan and Sumatran Rhinoceros species recorded in South Asia. Encyclopaedic in scope – textually, geographically, historically and visually – this is a comprehensive review of the human interactions of the rhinoceros in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan and Bangladesh.
The E-Book can be published as OPEN ACCESS, meaning that it is available for free to everybody online and as PDF download from the date of publication.
HELP ME TO ACHIEVE OPEN ACCESS FOR THE BENEFIT OF NATURALISTS EVERYWHERE
1. Pledge €100 / £100 / $100 or more
For less than the expected retail price, you will receive the E-Book when published,
AND help to provide the same to all interested users without limitations.
2. Send an email to Kees Rookmaaker at rhinorrc@gmail.com with your pledge
3. Once enough pledges are received you will receive an email that this crowdfunding is succesful
4. You should pay the amount before 15 September through the RRC donation facility.
5. We will inform you when the book is published.
Subscribers (who pledge $100 or more) can be listed in the published volume – with opt-out possibility.
Sponsors (who pledge $1000 or more) please contact me. Institutions can have their LOGO displayed inside the book – in consultation.
You can contribute anonymously at https://www.geef.nl/en/donate?charity=5036. Be aware that this is NOT reversible and will be taken as a donation to the RRC if crowdfunding is not achieved.
Other volumes in this series by Brill retail at €167, €295, €80, €129, €119.
Vital statistics: total 400,000 words, over 800 pages (215 x 297 mm), 38 new maps, 707 figures (531 in colour, 176 others), 67 chapters, 82 datasets, 75 tables, bibliography with 3061 references, index.
More information on The Rhinoceros of South Asia is available from this link to RRC.
Two rules:
a. Only if this campaign is succesful will the E-Book become available as open access for free. Otherwise it can be purchased with the usual retail price set by the publisher – without discount.
b. The Hardback of The Rhinoceros of South Asia has to be purchased separately – and no discounts are available for those participating in this campaign for open access of the E-Book version.
This campaign will end on Saturday 26 August 2023
