In this 29th annual edition of Books and Journals, we recognize Pitt staff and faculty who write or edit books as well as those who edit journals.

Book submissions have been arranged according to school, and listed alphabetically by title. In instances of co-authored and co-edited books, the Pitt faculty or staff member is listed first.

Following the books section is the journals section, which also is presented by school and listed alphabetically according to title. In instances of co-edited journals, the Pitt editor appears first.

We regret that space constraints prohibit the inclusion of other kinds of publications produced by Pitt faculty and staff. For example, our book listing does not include individual chapters, articles, poems and similar pieces written or edited by Pitt faculty and staff. In the journal section, only editors, co-editors and associate editors are included; other contributors, such as authors of individual articles and editorial board members, are not listed.
