Royal Society Science Book Prize (1988-2010)

from The Royal Society accessed 8/25/10

The Royal Society Prize for Science Books celebrates the very best in popular science writing.
Ever since the Prizes were originally established in 1988 they have had the same aim - to encourage the writing, publishing and reading of good and accessible popular science books. They have grown to become one of the UK's most prestigious non-fiction literary prizes.
