*The Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre  Dame is pleased to announce a new $10,000 book prize, the Laura Shannon
 Prize in Contemporary European Studies.* Publishers may nominate up to three (3) books; authors may also self-nominate. The prize carries a
 $10,000 award for "the best book in European studies that transcends a focus on any one country, state, or people to stimulate new ways of
 thinking about contemporary Europe as a whole." It rotates between the Humanities and History & Social Sciences. We will soon be announcing the
 first winner of the Humanities cycle, and we are now accepting nominations for the first prize in History or Social Sciences, for books
 published in 2008 or 2009*. The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2010. *

 Additional information and the entry form can be found at http://nanovic.nd.edu/programs-partnerships/shannon-prize.
