Subject: Announcing Publication of The Post-Soviet Handbook


Center for Civil Society International, in cooperation with the University
of Washington Press, is pleased to announce the publication of...

                   The Post Soviet Handbook:
            A Guide to Grassroots Organizations and
        Internet Resources in the Newly Independent States

The Post Soviet Handbook documents the enormous variety of grassroots
initiatives which have emerged in the NIS over the past ten years. Entries
range from the Research Center for Human Rights in Moscow to the Red
Crescent Society in Azerbaijian and the Wildlife Foundation in Khabarovsk.
The Handbook provides extensive contact information for hundreds of
independent associations (including e-mail addresses) and describes their
principal programs and activities.

In addition, a special section introduces the abundance of Internet
resources related to the newly independent states, from electronic mailing
lists to World Wide Web and Gopher sites, as well as utilities for moving
from Latin characters to Cyrillic and vice-versa.

Other sections provide contact information for more than three dozen
clearinghouse organizations and describe more than 150 projects in the NIS
created by U.S.-based entities, ranging from cultural exchanges to
financial sector reforms and housing developments.

The Post-Soviet Handbook is 416 pages in length and sells for $19.95 plus
shipping and handling.
