Forum for the History of Scienced in America seeks nominations for the
20016 Philip J. Pauly Book Prize. The award, consisting of $500, is
given for the best new scholarly book in English in the history of
science in America, published in 2013, 2014, or 2015 by a first-time
book author. The Prize will be awarded at the History of Science
Society's annual meeting in Atlanta this November.
The prize
committee construes "America: very broadly, to include works situated
geographically in any part of North or South America or the Caribbean,
and/or narratives dealing principally with the scientific cultures or
institutions of such places. Contributing chapters to edited volumes
does not disqualify an author from the "First book" criterion.
Self-nominations are encouraged. Please contact Marc Rothenberg at josephhenr@aol.com
in order to have copies of a nominated book sent to the prize
committee. Copies must be received by July 1 in order to be considered.
