Royal Society Prizes for Science Books


The Royal Society Prizes for Science Books is an annual award for the previous year's best general science writing and best science writing for children. The nominees and winners are decided by the Royal Society, the UK national academy of science. It is generally considered to be the most prestigious science writing award, and is sometimes referred to as the Booker Prize of science writing.

The prizes were established in 1988 and were known as the Science Book Prizes until 1990 when they were sponsored by Rhône-Poulenc and became known as the Rhône-Poulenc Prizes for Science Books. Between 2000 and 2006, following the merger of Rhône-Poulenc with Hoechst AG to form Aventis, the prizes were renamed the Aventis Prizes for Science Books. Since 2007 the prizes have been owned and managed by the Royal Society.

Judging Process

Entries are open to any book published in English in the preceding calendar year, that can be purchased in the UK. Two judging panels, one for the General Prize (for best general science writing) and one for the Junior Prize (for best science writing for young people up to the age of 14) assess the entries and select a longlist of around 12 books and then a shortlist of six books. The General Prize panel then select the winner. The winner of the Junior Prize is selected by panels of school-age children (a total of 800 in 75 groups for the 2005 Prizes). The winner in each category receives £10,000. £1000 per book is awarded to the authors of the remaining shortlisted books.

The Age of Wonder wins Royal Society Prize for Science Books


Published Date: 15 September 2009
Richard Holmes' extraordinary account of how science inspired the romantic generation, has also inspired the judges of the Royal Society Prize for Science Books. He was announced the winner at the Royal Society today (Tuesday 15th September 2009).

In "The Age of Wonder", Richard Holmes investigates how a fascination for science swept across Britain at the end of 18th century, using the stories of the scientists involved to engage the reader. The book covers a variety of disciplines including astronomy, chemistry, botany, philosophy, and even poetry, as it explores how the science of the time evolved.

Richard Holmes said: "I did a lot of hot air ballooning in researching this book and I can tell you that the feeling of going up in a balloon is nothing compared to what I feel at winning this prize. I am elated and I hope not to come down too soon."

He added: "One of the things I've leant in writing a about science is the vital importance of teamwork both in the laboratory and the field. This may require a new kind of biography to be written."

Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society, presented the £10,000 prize to Richard Holmes. The award ceremony was held at the Royal Society. The Age of Wonder has triumphed over other strong contenders in the shortlist, including Neil Shubin's Your Inner Fish and Ben Goldacre's Bad Science to win the prestigious award for science writing.

Sir Tim Hunt FRS, Chair of the Judges, said: "This is a book about real heroes, scientists like Joseph Banks, Humphrey Davy and William Herschel, who changed our understanding of the world forever. It's extremely accessible, wearing its science lightly while placing it within a much wider cultural context. We all found it a wonderful, eclectic and compelling read, completely absorbing, romantic and original. An extraordinary achievement and a truly worthy winner."

The six books shortlisted were:

What the nose knows: The science of scent in everyday life by Avery Gilbert (Crown Publishers)

Bad science by Ben Goldacre (Fourth Estate

Decoding the heavens: Solving the mystery of the world's first computer by Jo Marchant (Windmill)

The age of wonder: How the Romantic generation discovered the beauty and terror of science by Richard Holmes (Harper)

The drunkard's walk: How randomness rules our lives by Leonard Mlodinow (Penguin)

Your inner fish: The amazing discovery of our 375-million-year-old ancestor by Neil Shubin (Penguin)

The Royal Society is grateful to the Beecroft Trust for supporting the 2009 Prizes while the Society seeks longer-term support for 2010 onwards. The winner was announced at an event at the Royal Society on Tuesday 15th September 2009 and awarded £10,000. The authors of each shortlisted book were awarded £1000.

The judges on the judging panel are:

Sir Tim Hunt FRS, Cancer Research UK and Nobel laureate (Chair); Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, space scientist at Astrium Ltd, STFC Fellow of University College London and Founder and MD of Science Innovation Ltd; Dr Philip Ball, author; Deborah Cohen, Editor, BBC Radio Science Unit; Danny Wallace, author, comedian and presenter.

Review: The Age of Wonder by Richard Holmes

It wasn't only the Romantic poets who had a sense of the sublime; the age's scientists did too, says Jonathan Bate
Romantic science? Did not William Blake fulminate against 'Bacon and Newton sheathed in dismal steel, their terrors hanging like iron scourges over Albion'? Didn't John Keats say that Newtonian optics had unwoven the magic of the rainbow?

Isn't the great Romantic-Gothic novel, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, an indictment of science's hubristic capacity to destroy us all, a prophecy of the time we are now nearing, when a human clone fashioned in the laboratory will turn against its creator?

It is this story of the opposition between the Romantic poets and the science of their time that Richard Holmes sets out to undo.

No one could be better qualified for the task than the biographer of the two Romantics who showed most interest in science, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Building on a generation of revisionist scholarship that has been barely visible beyond the groves of academe, Holmes triumphantly shows that the Romantic age was one of symbiosis rather than opposition, in which scientists such as Sir Humphry Davy were also poets and poets such as Coleridge had a shaping influence on scientists - we discover indeed that it was Coleridge who was responsible for the early 19th-century invention of the term 'scientist' as an alternative to the older nomenclature 'natural philosopher'.


Mike Jay reviews The Age of Wonder

This was the era during which the astronomers William and Caroline Herschel discovered a new planet (Uranus) and increased the number of known nebulae from 100 to 2,500. The era in which Davy discovered the properties of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and invented the miner's safety lamp. And in which the hot air balloon allowed humans to fly for the first time in history.

Scientists, like poets, need a sense of wonder, a sense of humility and a sense of humour. Holmes has all three in abundance.

His wit is usually understated. Thus with regard to Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, the Parisian inventor of a gasmask, a hydrogen blowtorch and a new theory of thunder, who met his untimely end on a pioneering cross-channel balloon flight: 'He had, in effect, invented the new profession of test pilot. He had the right stuff.'

No biographer is better than Holmes at evoking the thrill of the chase. Here he is, hot on the heels of Davy's old tutor, Thomas Beddoes, who was that rare thing, a radically left-wing Oxford don.

Writing to a colleague about some medical work, Beddoes passingly damned the Tory Prime Minister William Pitt. In a gesture of irony he enclosed with the letter a brown silk hat-ribbon printed with the patriotic slogan 'licensed to wear Hair Powder - Pitt for ever!'

The meaning of this? It's elementary. Holmes explains: 'In 1795 Pitt had levied a tax on hair powder, to help raise funds for military campaigns abroad. The ribbon fell out of Beddoes's letter as I unfolded it in the Truro archive, and I let out a republican whoop! that almost led to my ejection.'

Such was the range of scientific innovation in the period, so many the players in the drama, that Holmes has set himself a fearful structural problem.

He solves it by means of an elegant device. At the heart of The Age of Wonder are linked biographies of three scientific knights.

First comes Sir Joseph Banks, whose visit to Tahiti revealed not only hitherto unknown botanical riches but also an alluringly Romantic lifestyle, all nudity and free love in the manner of Rousseau's noble savages. The British were quick to bring that to an end courtesy of their sailors' syphilitic sperm.

Banks returned home and became president of the Royal Society. One dimension of Holmes's book is to offer a history of that organisation, during the transitional period when it was still partly a gentleman's club.

Recurring themes here are the exclusion of Michael Faraday and the advent of rival, more professional organisations, notably the Royal Institution and the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

The second knight is Herschel, who began as a provincial outsider, an amateur viewed with suspicion by the astronomer royal, but whose penetration into deep space forced the Royal Society to accept him.

There was not, however, a fellowship for his sister Caroline, who swept the heavens with equal assiduity. Holmes restores her to the place she deserves.

Third and foremost comes Davy, with one foot in Banks's world and the other in Coleridge's West Country.

Indeed, when researching the properties of tannins he had a pair of shoes made, one tanned with catechu brought back from Tahiti by Banks and the other with oak bark provided by Coleridge's Nether Stowey patron, the tanner Tom Poole.
There is a fascinating cast of supporting characters, their names and brief lives helpfully gathered in an appendix.

Among the most significant was Erasmus Darwin, Charles's grandfather, whose footnoted epic The Botanic Garden was the main conduit through which new scientific knowledge passed into poetry.

The only problem with Holmes's structure is that it leaves little room for scientists who worked outside the establishment of the Royal Society.

Joseph Priestley in particular, whose chemical experiments gave Davy his foundations, is given short shrift. Equally, there are only passing mentions of James Hutton, whose discovery of 'deep time' in geology was as significant as the Herschels' journey into deep space.

The book ends with Charles Darwin setting sail on the Beagle and with anticipation of the moment when The Origin of Species will turn the world upside-down, but geology, the science of yawning gaps, is itself a conspicuous absence from Holmes's entrancing tour.

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet
By Mark Lynas
Winner, General Prize 2008


Picture yourself a few decades from now, in a world in which average temperatures are three degrees higher than they are now. On the edge of Greenland, rivers ten times the size of the Amazon are gushing off the ice sheet into the north Atlantic.

Displaced victims of North Africa's drought establish a new colony on Greenland's southern tip, one of the few inhabitable areas not already crowded with environmental refugees. Vast pumping systems keep the water out of most of Holland, but the residents of Bangladesh and the Nile Delta enjoy no such protection. Meanwhile, in New York, a Category 5-plus superstorm pushes through the narrows between Staten Island and Brooklyn, devastating waterside areas from Long Island to Manhattan. Pakistan, crippled by drought brought on by disappearing Himalayan glaciers, sees 27 million farmers flee to refugee camps in neighbouring India. Its desperate government prepares a last-ditch attempt to increase the flow of the Indus river by bombing half-constructed Indian dams in Kashmir. The Pakistani president authorises the use of nuclear weapons in the case of an Indian military counter-strike. But the biggest story of all comes from South America, where a conflagration of truly epic proportions has begun to consume the Amazon&
Alien as it all sounds, Mark Lynas's incredible new book is not science-fiction; nor is it sensationalist. The six degrees of the title refer to the terrifying possibility that average temperatures will rise by up to six degrees within the next hundred years. This is the first time we have had a reliable picture of how the collapse of our civilisation will unfold unless urgent action is taken.

Most vitally, Lynas's book serves to highlight the fact that the world of 2100 doesn't have to be one of horror and chaos. With a little foresight, some intelligent strategic planning, and a reasonable dose of good luck, we can at least halt the catastrophic trend into which we have fallen. But the time to act is now.

The judges said:

On being longlisted, "A doomsday scenario which everyone has to know about. A thought-provoking read which makes the issues of global warming very real and immediate."

On being shortlisted, "Six degrees takes a fresh and interesting approach to the familiar topic of climate change. Gripping and remarkably balanced, this book does not just focus on the doom and gloom' of climate change but also displays practical optimism towards the issues facing us."

On deciding the winner, Professor Jonathan Ashmore, Chair of the Judges, said: "Lynas gives us a compelling and gripping view of how climate change could affect our world. It presents a series of scientifically plausible, worst case scenarios without tipping into hysteria. Six degrees is not just a great read, written in an original way, but also provides a good overview of the latest science on this highly topical issue. This is a book that will stimulate debate and that will, Lynas hopes, move us to action in the hope that this is a disaster movie that never happens. Everyone should read this book."

2008年英国皇家学会科普书奖得主简介：

Mark Lynas (born 1973) is a British author, journalist and environmental activist who focuses on climate change. He is a contributor to New Statesman, Ecologist, Granta and Geographical magazines, and The Guardian and The Observer newspapers in the UK; he also worked on the film The Age of Stupid, set for release in February 2009. He holds a degree in history and politics from the University of Edinburgh. He lives in Oxford, England.

In 2004, Lynas' High Tide: The Truth About Our Climate Crisis was published by Macmillan Publishers on its Picador imprint. He has also contributed to a book entitled Fragile Earth: Views of a Changing World published by Collins, which presents before-and-after images of some of the natural changes which have happened to the world in recent years, including the Indian Ocean tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, alongside a bleak look at the effects of mankind's actions on the planet.

In January 2007 Lynas published Gem Carbon Counter, containing instruction to calculate people's personal carbon emissions and recommendations about how to reduce their impact on the atmosphere.

In 2007 he published Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet, a book detailing the progressive effect of global warming in several planetary ecosystems, from 1 degree to 6 degrees and further of average temperature rise of the planet. Special coverage is given to the positive feedback mechanisms that could dramatically accelerate the climate change, possibly putting the climate on a runaway path. As a possible end scenario the release of methane hydrate from the bottom of the oceans could replicate the end-Permian extinction event.

In 2008 National Geographic released a documentary film based on Lynas's book, entitled Six Degrees Could Change the World.

In November 2009 the President of the Maldives appointed him as his government's advisor on climate change.

Stumbling on Happiness By Daniel Gilbert
Winner, General Prize 2007


In this fascinating and often hilarious work, pre-eminent psychologist Daniel Gilbert shows how and why the majority of us have no idea how to make ourselves happy. The drive for happiness is one of the most instinctive and fundamental human impulses but do we actually have the first idea how to achieve it, maintain it, or even, for that matter, what it is? In this revealing and witty investigation, pioneering psychologist Daniel Gilbert uses his ground-breaking research, philosophy and real-life case studies to illustrate how our basic drive to satisfy our desires is not only often misguided, but also intrinsically linked to some of the most long-standing and contentious questions about human nature. Combining lively prose, fresh analysis, much-awaited findings and considerable erudition, Stumbling On Happiness' is a fascinating and engaging look at what it means to be a human being on a perennial quest for happiness.

The judges said:

This is one of those books you can't put down. It reads like a novel and will change the way you think about yourself and your relationships with others.

Professor Colin Pillinger, chair of the judges, said: "Stumbling on Happiness is an outstanding and highly readable winner of this year's Royal Society Prize for Science Books. Daniel Gilbert's voice provides a witty companion throughout this exploration of the science behind the pursuit of happiness an issue which fascinates us all. He uses cognitive science and psychology to provide intriguing insights into human nature, helping us to understand why we make the decisions we do."

"All of the books on the short list were excellent and a treat to judge. Coming to a final decision was extremely difficult."

Book news:
On accepting the award, Daniel Gilbert said: "I'm absolutely delighted to receive this tremendous honour from the world's oldest learned society. There are very few countries (including my own) where a somewhat cheeky book about happiness could win a science prize -- but the British invented intellectual humour and have always understood that enlightenment and entertainment are natural friends. So God bless the empire!"
