IMPERMANENCE. Exploring continuous change across cultures. Edited by Haidy Geismar, Ton Otto, and Cameron David Warner #UCLPress (2022) #OpenAccess #Books

"Nothing lasts forever. This common experience is the source of much anxiety but also hope. The concept of impermanence or continuous change opens up a range of timely questions and discussions that speak to globally shared experiences of transformation and concerns for the future. Impermanence engages with an emergent body of social theory emphasizing flux and transformation, and brings this into a dialogue with other traditions of thought and practice, notably Buddhism that has sustained a long-lasting and sophisticated meditation on impermanence."

Re #monographs and scholarly comms: #openaccess clearly speeds up the dissemination, but (cf new models for scientific article publishing), I don't think we yet have a way to speed up the commenting, reviewing and response to books.

Our 'History of Scientific Journals' was published in October. #UCLPress now reports almost 3,000 downloads so far, and 45 sales of other editions. But, no reviews yet, and little sense of whether more than 2 people have read beyond the Intro... #histodons
Only just discovered the breadth of #UCLPress #OpenAccess. Added half a dozen in my digital #tsundoku already: https://www.uclpress.co.uk/collections/open-access
