    I just received the below information on a new book that I pass along FYI.

    Culture, Self, and, Motivation: Essays in Honor of Martin L. Maehr
    Edited by Avi Kaplan, Ben Gurion University of the Negev
    Stuart A. Karabenick, University of Michigan
    Elisabeth De Groot, University of Michigan

    The authors of the chapters in this volume-past and present collaborators of
    Marty Maehr, and a few of his former graduate students along the years-are
    motivational researchers who conduct research using diverse methods and
    perspectives, and in different parts of the world. All, however, see their
    intellectual roots in Marty's theoretical and empirical work. The chapters
    in this book are divided into two sections: Motivation and Self and Culture
    and Motivation. Clearly, the distinctions between these two sections are
    very blurry, as they are in Marty's work. And yet, when the authors were
    asked to contribute their chapters, the research questions they addressed
    seemed to have formed two foci, with personal motivation and socio-cultural
    processes alternating as the core versus the background in the two sections.
