About the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize

Adult popular-science prize only; the Young People's Book Prize is out of scope. Named Aventis Prize (2006), Royal Society Prize for Science Books (2007-2010), Winton (2011-2015), Insight Investment (2016-2023), Trivedi (2024-). Year is the prize year the Royal Society uses. Winner plus shortlist. 2014-2025 from the official book pages; the official site lists no books before 2014, so 2006-2013 come from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_Science_Book_Prize), which cites contemporary Guardian and Royal Society announcements.

Organization: The Royal Society. Years are award years, which can differ from publication years. Official site (opens in a new tab)
