Alternately, you could freeze the person's name at the time of publication by having a name field in the Publication table that may be duplicated from its associated Member name. You'll still know the author's current name because there's a relationship between the two. You would do a similar thing in online stores - a product's price may change, but the price that a customer ordered the product at had better not.

Why not have an entity that sits inbetween the Person and the Publication? Maybe call it Alias or Representation. So you could have:

Person <-->> Alias <-- Publication

This way, you could handle name differences including ghost writers, etc. The Publication would always point to the same alias, and that alias, to a person.
