ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCES THE WINNERS

OF THE 2006 PSP AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE

February 6, 2007, Washington, DC, – The Professional and Scholarly Publishing

Division (PSP) of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) today announced the
winner of the R.R. Hawkins Award for the Outstanding Professional, Reference or
Scholarly Work of 2006. This year’s 12-member judging panel selected Evolutionary
Dynamics by Martin A. Nowak, published by Harvard University Press, to receive the
R.R. Hawkins Award, which is named for the former head of the Science and Technology
Division of the New York Public Library.
As described by Michael G. Fisher, editor in chief of Harvard University Press,
Evolutionary Dynamics “offers not just the basics, but also conveys the excitement and
challenges of cutting-edge research.” The book serves as introductory material while also
addressing active areas of research, making it “valuable to readers at every level of
sophistication in biology and related disciplines,” according to Fisher.

The Hawkins Award, along with awards in 30 categories for outstanding books, journals
and digital products covering a wide range of academic disciplines, will be presented
today at a special awards luncheon during the PSP Annual Conference in Washington,
DC. The award for Innovation in Journal Publishing is being given to the American
Chemical Society for its ACS Chemical Biology.

AAP President and CEO Pat Schroeder extended the Association’s congratulations to all
of the PSP Award honorees, noting that “promoting and encouraging the dissemination of
scholarship is one of AAP’s primary missions,” and highlighting the special honor of
being chosen by one’s peers for these awards. This year’s panel of expert judges was
made up of librarians, academics and working publishers.

The Association of American Publishers is the national trade association of the U.S. book
publishing industry. AAP’s more than 300 members include most of the major
commercial publishers in the United States, as well as smaller and non-profit publishers,
university presses and scholarly societies—small and large. AAP members publish
hardcover and paperback books in every field, educational materials for the elementary,
secondary, postsecondary, and professional markets, scholarly journals, computer
software, and electronic products and services. The protection of intellectual property
rights in all media, the defense of the freedom to read and the freedom to publish at home
and abroad, and the promotion of reading and literacy are among the Association’s
highest priorities.

Information on the Hawkins Award winners and a complete list of the winners in all
categories is attached.
