The British Society for the History of Science invites book nominations for the 2003 Dingle Prize. The value of the prize is £300 and the 2003 Dingle Prize will be offered for
The best book in the history of science published in English between January 2001 and December 2002 which is accessible to a wide audience of non-specialists. It is hoped that the winning book will present some aspect of the history of science (including the history of technology and the history of medicine) in an engaging and comprehensible manner that also shows proper regard to historical method. It might re-examine a well-known historical incident or achievement, or bring new perspective to previously neglected figures or fields in the past.
Nominations for the prize are invited from members of the Society and from publishers. Self nomination is acceptable. Publishers should send three copies of the nominated books to the Society's Executive Secretary at the address below by 4 April.
