A Review of Popular Science Books for Public

Abstract

Each year, China produces a large number of science books, of which a considerable part is labeled as ‘popular science books’. In 2013, China Science Writers’ Association invited a panel of experts, knowledgeable in this field to pick out the preferable ones for the ordinary public. After days of flipping through the pages of the tomes, they identified 106 titles from thousands of the targeted books that were published between 2000 and 2013. The selected books were later presented to the public as special recommendation. In promotion, various activities were organized to seize the public attention.
