The new issue of the Journal of Scholarly Publishing includes a very special tribute to Irving Louis Horowitz.
Irving Louis Horowitz was a distinguished professor of Sociology and Political Science, a prolific author, and Chairman of the Board as well as Editorial Director of Transaction Publishers. Often regarded by his colleagues as a force of nature, Horowitz was constantly making advances in American scholarship while simultaneously managing institutions and an academic career. As the head of a major social science publishing house, Transactions Publishers– the only publishing house to be headed by a major social scientist- he unleashed a flood of scholarly publications, books, and periodicals covering a vast subject interest. In his lifetime, Irving Louis Horowitz captained a host of voices, discovered fresh talent, and encouraged everyone to write truthfully. Few have achieved such an intellectual monument like Mr. Horowitz.
