JUNIOR PRIZE SHORTLIST ANNOUNCED
Winner! DK Guide to the Human Body by Richard Walker | Hardcover
Einstein, dinosaurs, bugs and the human body are among the subjects covered in the shortlist for the Junior Prize of the Aventis Prizes for Science Books 2002.
The shortlist of six books for under-14s was chosen from among 65 entries by a five-strong judging panel chaired by Dr John Ashworth, the former Chairman of the Board of the British Library.
Dr Ashworth and the panel now hand over the judging process to young people from all over the UK. For the first time this year, the Aventis Prizes have teamed up with Sci-Zmic - the new national network for science clubs, and children aged up to fourteen from 30 science clubs will have the task of selecting the winning book - the book judged to be best at bringing science alive for children.
