JMB welcomes unsolicited book reviews. The Journal favors review essays akin to what used to be called a "critical notice": close-grained reviews of approximately 5,000 words that become genuine contributions to the secondary literature. Authors wishing to submit book reviews are urged to write with the above interdisciplinary framework firmly in mind.

Reviews should be absent of all titles except the name of the work reviewed, author of work reviewed, place of publication, publisher, date of latest publication, number of pages, and cost An example of a JMB review will be made available to act as a stylesheet.

For books in cognitive science, the philosophy of mind, consciousness studies, the sociology of scientific knowledge and social philosophy: If you would like to canvass the suitability of a target book and are putting yourself forward as the reviewer, please write to Leslie Marsh, Associate Reviews Editor, for consideration.
