ABE is going to have a combined exhibit at UAA, acting as a featured go-between for association book-buying delegates and the publishers who participate in this exhibit each year. This year’s theme: “Contesting and Sustaining the City: Neighborhood, Region, or World.”
UAA is an impressive group of professionals from public and private universities involved in teaching, research and public service. Because UAA members offer technical advice to universities and urban institutes regarding organizational and program development, the latest books and periodicals addressing these areas are a prime concern.
If you want to get your published texts, reference, resource materials, and journals pertaining to urban affairs into major colleges and universities, this is the place to exhibit.
