UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA PRESS The purpose of the University Press is to encourage, seek out, and publish original and scholarly manuscripts which will aid in developing the University as a recognized center of research and scholarship. In addition to its broad range of state, regional, and Latin American titles, the Press publishes books of general interest and five separate series in Floridiana, gerontology, humanities, Latin American studies, and social sci- ences. It is also the publisher of The Handbook of Latin American Studies, sponsored by the Library of Congress. The Press Board of Managers, including the director and fourteen faculty experts appointed by the President of the University, determines policies of publication relating to the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and the is- suance of author contracts. Each year the board examines numerous manu- scripts submitted not only by the University faculty but by authors from all over the United States, Europe, and Latin America. The Press is a member of the Association of American University Presses and of the Association of American Publishers, Inc. Students and members of the faculty and staff are cordially invited to visit the Press offices at 15 N.W. 15th Street, adjacent to the campus.
