New Books in Environmental Studies is currently seeking hosts interested in conducting interviews with authors of new books on the environment and environmental history. Hosting the channel is a good way to bring the work of environmental scholars to the attention of large audiences. Interested parties should write Marshall Poe at marshallpoe@gmail.com.

Envirotech's website has a new address, envirotechhistory.org, as well as a refreshed look and, most importantly, a brand new and fully functioning Wordpress installation that will make it possible for us to add new content. 

Semih Çelik has been granted the Andreas Tietze Memorial Fellowship that is established by the University of Vienna's Near Eastern Studies Department  to commemorate the life and work of Andreas Tietze, an iconic twentieth-century Turcologist. For his project, "A Veritable Child of Vienna – despite the Turkish name’: Macarlı Abdullah Bey of Vienna and the Natural History Museum in Istanbul (1849-1874)", Çelik will work in the archives of the Natural History Museum Vienna.
