Cambridge honoured in 2023 PROSE Awards

The Association of American Publishers has named Cosmology by Daniel Baumann one of four Excellence Award winners in the 2023 PROSE awards, in the category of Physical Sciences and Mathematics. Eight titles published by Cambridge University Press were subject category winners for the awards honouring scholarly works published in 2022, while an additional six of our titles were chosen as finalists. 

Since 1976, the Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) awards have recognized publishers who produce books, journals, and digital products of extraordinary merit that make a significant contribution to a field of study in a given year. For 2023, 105 finalists were named along with 40 category winners.  

“Congratulations to our authors and editors for producing outstanding, award-winning work,” said Ben Denne, Director of Publishing, Academic Books.

“This year we built on our excellent history at the PROSE awards with another strong showing, tying for the most category winners among all publishers and sweeping the category of Mathematics and Statistics.” 

Our eight category winners will now be eligible for the next level of PROSE honours, the Awards for Excellence, which will be announced in the coming weeks and comprise the following:
