{"id":33820,"count":14,"description":"The Royal Society, set up in the 1660s, is a fellowship of many of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. It has also been supporting a popular science book prize since 1988, awarded to a book that makes science \u201ccompelling and accessible to the public.\u201d Every year, we talk to one of the judges about the shortlisted books, most recently neuroscientist Rebecca Henry, who talked us through the books that made the 2023 shortlist<\/a>. The prize is a wonderful way to find good science books published in recent years and learn about important science topics.\r\n\r\nThe Royal Society also has a prize for science books for young people<\/a>. The shortlist is drawn up by a judging panel led by a scientist, but it's kids who choose the final winner.\r\n\r\nBooks Awards<\/a> | Science Books<\/a> | History of Science\u00a0<\/a>","link":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/books\/royal-society-book-prizes\/","name":"Royal Society Book Prizes","slug":"royal-society-book-prizes","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/33820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=33820"},{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book?tags=33820"},{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books_like_this?tags=33820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
