Ten thousand authors. Not one of them had to know somebody.
Our list is built on manuscripts, not introductions. These are some of the researchers, educators and practitioners whose work we publish.
Dr. Ananya Sharma
Editorial director for computing at Akedemia and author of three titles, including this season’s lead monograph The Future of AI.
“I have been on both sides of the desk here — commissioning other people’s books and having my own read by referees who did not go easy on me. That is the point. The review made the book defensible, and defensible is what a research book has to be.”
