Springer Nature has announced the first three titles to be published under its Nature Books imprint during a session at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The titles cover topics spanning medical history, transportation, and urban development.
The first titles are The Magic Bullet in Modern Medicine by Toine Pieters, Professor of the History of Pharmacy and Allied Sciences at Utrecht University; The Electric Vehicle Transition by André de Palma, Yannik Riou, and Robin Lindsey; and Reimagining the Industrial City by Carl Grodach, Foundation Professor of Urban Planning and Design at Monash University.
The Magic Bullet in Modern Medicine examines the history of efforts to develop effective medical treatments over the past century, from early bacteriology to gene therapy, and considers the implications of this history for contemporary healthcare.
The Electric Vehicle Transition examines the shift toward electric vehicles and its implications for transportation systems, industry, and public policy. The authors approach the transition as a broader transformation of mobility and the automotive sector rather than solely as a technological change.
Reimagining the Industrial City examines the continuing role of industrial spaces in urban economies. The book challenges the concept of the post-industrial city and explores how industrial areas can contribute to employment, innovation, and more sustainable urban development.
Nature Books was launched earlier this year and is intended for academics, policymakers, and funders. The imprint focuses on long-form works and brings together Nature Portfolio's editorial expertise with Springer Nature's experience in academic book publishing.
