“Building on the Press’s distinguished tradition of leading authors and groundbreaking books, I pursue manuscripts that are distinctive, provide insight to critical questions, uncover new connections, and, ultimately, offer a new understanding of our world. Whether for a trade or scholarly offering, I work closely with authors to develop and refine manuscripts towards long-lasting impact in the scientific and publishing community. I welcome proposals across the life and physical sciences and technology, as well as the history and philosophy of science.”

O. Carter Snead, author of What It Means to Be Human: The Case for the Body in Public Bioethics, explored at CNN Opinion why “Roe and its progeny have been very bad for America.”
