Nov 20, 2019: We spend most of our time letting you know what we publish (or want to publish) in NVJS, but this time we turn the spotlight onto what our alumni have been publishing outside of NVJS. (We’ve narrowed this list down to books, but there are plenty of chapters and articles out there by NVJS alumni too.)
Below, we introduce 6 publications that have been released by NVJS authors over the past 5 years, starting with the most recent.
Of course, if you’d like to review any of the books listed here, do let us know!
