Williams titled "Economics and Business Administration," in which business administration is not treated as an equal of economics. Instead, the chapter treats different aspects of business administration (e.g., management) as subdivisions of economics. Webb also has a chapter on history, a discipline that the author's article on humanities prizewinners covers.

6. The Web sites of the associations list many of the AAA, AERA, AAG, and APA winners. Members of the associations who had served on prize-selection committees supplied names of other winners. Kenneth D. Madsen sent a complete list of awardees of the AAG J. B. Jackson prize. See Madsen's "Writing for Non-Geographers: Lessons from the J. B. Jackson Prize," Geographical Review 92 (Jan. 2002): 63-72. Winners of prizes from the APSA are listed in the December issues of PS. Michael Murphy of the ASA sent complete listings of all his association's prizewinners. The author is very grateful to association members, Kenneth Madsen, and Michael Murphy for their generosity.
