Synopsis
The synopsis is an outline describing the book; approach and its aims. A listing of chapter headings and subheadings is insufficient. Please detail the topics covered and describe how you approach the subject, providing a clear impression of the overall structure and level of the proposed book. Include any outstanding features and pedagogical features, e.g. summaries, examples, cases, problems, etc.

Table of Contents
Please provide a detailed Table of Contents (Chapter Head, Section and Sub-section).

Sample chapters
We will review a complete manuscript if available. If not, we would need at least 35 representative chapters for review. This will enable reviewers to evaluate the style, pedagogy and technical accuracy. It is recommended that any particularly innovative material should be submitted at this stage. The time taken to write the sample chapters will allow you to gauge the time it will take to complete the book. Please note that introductory chapters are not suitable as sample chapters. If appropriate, you should begin at this early stage to think in terms of a supplement package, e.g. a teachers manual, students guide or software supplement.

Curriculum vitae
A curriculum vitae should contain details of all relevant teachings, research, industrial and professional experience, and list of all previous publications (Title and Publisher).
