AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books Longlists
AAASandSubaru are pleased to announce the longlist for the 2019 AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize. The prize, sponsored by Subaru, has been celebrating outstanding science writing and illustration for all age groups since 2005. Awards are presented in five categories: Children’s Science Picture Book, Middle Grades Science Book, Young Adult Science Book, and Hands-On Science Book. Beyond honoring these books with an award, AAAS and Subaru partner to bring them into the community. Through the #SubaruLovesLearning initiative, the finalists and winning books are donated to schools all over the country. Additionally, we creates free K-12 teaching materials based on the books. AAAS believe that, through good science books, this generation, and the next, will have a better understanding and appreciation of science.
