This is the first year the committee has created shortlists. This year committee members reviewed 40 nominated titles from 17 different publishers and scored them based on five criteria. Based on the scores from all committee members, 10 books received the highest total scores, six of which are published by CRC Press. The award recognizes excellence in scientific writing characterized by originality of research or thought and a high scholastic standard in the manner of presentation.
