AAUP's Books for Understanding Program
The University of Washington Press is a proud participant in the American
Association of University Press's Books for Understanding. A free,
easy-to-use resource to help scholars and general readers find books on
current events, Books for Understanding is constantly being updated with
new material. New bibliographies are compiled when a major news story
breaks or public debate heats up.
This program highlights one of the greatest values of a university press:
to publish top research and scholarship in all fields regardless of
immediate commercial potential.
