Mon Feb 8 12:48:21 CST 2016

Dear Nadya,

I do not want to publish a book right now. But I forward your message to our department list, as another faculty might have interest on your offer. We have world renowned physicists within our ranks.

Best wishes,

Carlos

Dear Dr. Bertulani,

We have learned of your published research on astrophysics and would like to invite you to participate in our publishing program. We also ask that you extend this invitation letter to any of your trusted and recommended colleagues active in this field of research.

A number of possibilities are available for our cooperation.

Nova Science Publishers, Inc. is an academic STM publisher founded in 1985 in New York. We publish about 1,500 new books and over 50 journals a year (please visit our website at www.novapublishers.com<https://www.novapublishers.com> and Testimonials<https://www.novapublishers.com/web/web_files/ForAuthorDocuments/Testimonials.pdf> for a better idea of what we do and how we work). Our readership is primarily research level academia. Our books and journals are sold worldwide, we work with all major booksellers and have representatives and agents on four continents and in most countries. Thousands of our authors, editors and contributors come from prestigious universities from around the globe. Many of our authors have published several books with Nova in the course of thirty years.

In particular, we welcome two possible avenues of cooperation (you can select one or both and let us know by return email):

Further, I warrant that I have the right to assign the copyright to NOVA, and that no right protected by copyright to the Work has been previously assigned. It is understood that the copyright to the Work has not been registered with the United States Copyright Office, but in the event that such registration has taken place, I will promptly transfer the copyright to NOVA.
