Recycling CDs

We recycle everything we can, so we were delighted to discover the CD Recycling Center of America is just 30 minutes up the road from us in Salem, New Hampshire. In clearing out some space this summer, we found a few thousand CDs that we had set aside years ago until we could find a way to recycle them. The components in a traditional jewel case CD package—the CDs, the CD trays, the paper inserts and tray cards, and the jewel cases—have to be separated and recycled through different processes. Only the paper parts are easily recyclable locally, but the CD Recycling Center in New Hampshire recycles all of the components properly. And now a carload of our old CDs can become parts for new cars instead of landfill.

Earth Day at Cascadilla Press

We’re trying out a 100% post-consumer content recycled paper (Boise Aspen 100) for the office laser printer, and it’s working great. No paper jams and no paper feed problems in the first few reams. We printed 2000 pages on that printer last week, so making a change like this can have an impact. The only drawback is an occasional large dark speck in the paper, which may mean occasionally reprinting a page of proof. If we didn’t have to proof lots of pages with small diacritics, it wouldn’t be an issue. You can buy this paper from OfficeMax or Costco.

Hope you’re enjoying Earth Day!

Fields of linguistics poster

We have a new poster in our CafePress shop: a flowchart showing how you can choose what field of linguistics to pursue. Answer the questions, follow your path, and confirm that you're in the right field.

Cascadilla Press is delighted to announce the second edition of Surviving Linguistics by Monica Macaulay. This fully updated edition contains new advice about PowerPoint presentations, conference poster sessions, citations and citation managers, funding sources, and applying for grants. There are revised and expanded sections on informed consent and human subjects, preparing to submit a journal article, and job options for linguists. Undergraduates will find guidance on preparing for grad school in linguistics, with advice on choosing, applying to, and visiting graduate programs.

Surviving Linguistics is a valuable resource for students at any stage of their graduate career, from learning to write linguistics papers through completing their dissertation and finding a job. Along the way, the author explains the process of submitting conference abstracts, speaking at conferences, publishing journal articles, writing grant applications, creating a CV, and much more. Throughout Surviving Linguistics, Macaulay emphasizes the importance of working with advisors, dissertation committees, and fellow graduate students. The second edition includes new exercises as well as helpful references to many new books and online resources.

"The new and improved second edition of Professor Macaulay's book contains a wealth of useful information, practical suggestions, and valuable resources about the field of modern linguistics. The book should be required reading for any student pursuing a graduate degree in linguistics."
--Travis G. Bradley, University of California, Davis
