The John Brinckerhoff Jackson Prize was established to encourage and reward American geographers who write books about the United States which convey the insights of professional geography in language that is interesting and attractive to a lay audience. The prize is restricted to sole- and dual-authored books written by geographers, with preference given to those by U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Textbooks, dissertations, edited collections, and articles are ineligible. Special consideration will be given to books that are carefully designed, appropriately illustrated, and physically appealing. Books published for the first time in English, in any country, in the current calendar year or in the period Oct. 1-Dec. 31 of last year, are now eligible for the awards. Nomination statements should provide full contact information for the author(s) and the nominator(s), including email addresses, and should document the ways the nominated work contributes to conveying insights of professional geography to a lay audience. Please email nomination statements. Please also ship four copies of each nominated book to the American Association of Geographers. Please visit the award's website for more information.
