Shortlist, The 2014 BSHS John Pickstone Prize
"The British Society for the History of Science (BSHS) is pleased to announce the establishment of a new prize.
The BSHS John Pickstone Prize will be awarded every two years to the best scholarly book in the history of science (broadly construed) in English, alternating with the Dingle Prize for the best popular book. The Pickstone Prize is very much in keeping with the Society’s mission to promote excellence in the academic field of history of science, technology and medicine.
The winning book should mark a major advance in the understanding and interpretation of the scientific past. There are no restrictions on the form of the book; specialist monographs and synthetic works, whether singly or multi-authored, are welcome. Edited volumes, however, are excluded.
The value of the Pickstone Prize is £300. The winner may also have the opportunity to give a presentation, sponsored by the BSHS, on the subject of the winning book."
