2021 Alice Award Goes to University of Chicago Press

Oct 05, 2021

The 2021 Alice award has been awarded to University of Chicago Press, for the book Strata: William Smith's Geological Maps.

The annual $25,000 Alice award, inaugurated in 2013 and administered by Furthermore grants in publishing, a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund, is given to a richly illustrated book that makes a valuable contribution to its field and demonstrates high standards of production. Nature writer Robert Macfarlane, who wrote the foreword for Strata, will discuss the book's significance at the virtual Alice Awards reception, hosted by Strand Book Store, on October 25.

Books shortlisted for the Alice award receive $5,000. This year's shortlist comprised New York Historical Society's The Art of Winold Reiss: An Immigrant Modernist; Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum's E. McKnight Kauffer: The Artist in Advertising; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Printing the Revolution: The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now.
