About Gift of Fire

The Gift of Fire is the official publication of the Prometheus Society. It is the forum for all business of the Society. Issues are published ten times yearly. Issues have averaged around forty pages in length over the last year with article topics covering science, religion, languages, the arts and some mathematical puzzles. Subscription to this journal is included in the membership fee and is available to non-members at the same rate. The normal subscription option includes a hard copy of every issue of the Gift of Fire as well as password access to the on-line version on the internet through this page. The on-line only option offers all benefits except the hardcopy.

All opinions expressed in the Gift of Fire are those of the acknowledged author (sometimes perhaps only in jest!) and do not represent those of the Society as a whole nor necessarily of any of the officers of this society or its members.

To subscribe or purchase back issues please contact the treasurer. For changes of address please contact the editor. The editor's contact information is published in each issue of Gift of Fire.

Copyright Information

Each issue of Gift of Fire is copyrighted by the Prometheus Society. However, the ownership of the copyrights of individual articles is retained by the authors themselves so that any article appearing in Gift of Fire may be submitted elsewhere by its author without requesting permission from, nor providing notification to, the Prometheus Society.

It is assumed that submissions have not previously been copyrighted by another publication unless accompanied by a signed release by the appropriate authority. Subsequent submission to other publications which may then retain the copyright of the material is acceptable.

Authors must indicate whether the article has been submitted for publication in hard copy only and receive acknowledgement back from the Editor; otherwise authorization is assumed for the on-line version.

Information on Submission of Articles and Other Material

The Prometheus Society espouses intellectual freedom and, therefore, the editor does not censor nor otherwise restrict the subject matter of articles submitted by members of the society. Nor will he (or she) do so in the future with the exception that articles which seem to attack individuals personally or disclose personal information concerning other individuals will not be published. (Refer to the constitution--access has been provided on this web page--for guidelines.)

Submissions from non-members will be published from time to time as space allows. However, this will only be in accordance with the perceived interest of the membership in the subject matter and presentation (To date, a high percentage of those submissions have been published.) .

It is essential that submissions be on either Macintosh^™ or PC compatible electronic media, preferably delivered at the editor's E-mail address listed above as attachments or in-line text (Notice that many communities provide free Internet access at public libraries, colleges, etc.).  31/2 inch floppy disks may be mailed to the Editor's postal address (Please do not submit non-standard disks or tapes!). Macintosh^™ or Microsoft Word for Windows^™ text and standard graphics files (jpg, gif) are preferred but we'll make do with what you have. Typed or handwritten material is sometimes acceptable but it will be retyped by the editor to obtain a uniform quality journal as time allows.

Artwork, sketches, clear photographs and or computer graphics are also requested. Author photographs or portraits are encouraged. Preferably again, these would be on electronic medium, but they will be scanned in otherwise.
