CHOICE names 29 “Outstanding Academic Titles” from the Press in 2018
We’re proud to announce that 29 Press books have been chosen for Choice’s prestigious Outstanding Academic Titles list in 2018.
Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries is a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Every year in the January issue, Choice publishes their list of chosen Outstanding Academic Titles that were reviewed during the previous year. Only ten percent of approximately 6,000 eligible reviewed titles are awarded each year.
The criteria for selection in this list includes overall the reviewer's evaluation, excellence in presentation and scholarship, importance relative to other literature in the field, distinction as a first treatment of a given subject in book or electronic form, originality or uniqueness of treatment, value to undergraduate students, and importance in building undergraduate library collections.
“We're thrilled that 29 Cambridge books have been selected for Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles list this year,” Mandy Hill, Managing Director of Academic Publishing at the Press, said. “To be recognized is a testament to the continued excellence of our publishing, and the robust scholarship and dedication of our authors and editors. We're very proud to have received this distinction from the academic library community.”
The following Cambridge titles were selected:
A Concise History of the Netherlands
