Nobel Laureates

Publisher of more than 190 Nobel Prize Laureates

Nobel Prizes have been awarded since 1901 in recognition of an individual or group’s contributions to ‘the greatest benefit to mankind’ in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and later Economic Sciences.

We are proud to have published the works of more than 190 Nobel Prize Laureates in our books, journals and the journals of our partners. These esteemed academics have contributed in topics as varied as consumer behaviour, structural proteins and quantum mechanics. Nobel Prize Laureates who have published with Cambridge include such names as Albert Einstein, Steven Weinberg, Douglass C North, and Angus Deaton. Cambridge is also proud to have published the works of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

In 2017, two Press authors were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize. Kip S. Thorne, editor of Quantum Measurement was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, and Joachim Frank, editor of Molecular Machines in Biology was also jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

In 2018, co-author of the Press-published Industrial Pricing in the United Kingdom, William Nordhaus, shared the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences.

See below the full list of Nobel Prize Laureate book authors published by the Press dating back to 1904.
