W. H. Freeman
W. H. Freeman and Company was founded in 1946 by former Macmillan salesman and editor William H. Freeman. From its first book (General Chemistry by the late Nobel laureate Linus Pauling) to the present, Freeman titles have consistently offered impeccable authorship, superb production and design, and an emphasis on the real-world applications and pivotal scientific discoveries. Those values are exemplified in such bestsellers as David Moore’s The Basic Practice of Statistics, Lubert Stryer’s Biochemistry, James Watson’s Recombinant DNA, Peter Atkins’s Physical Chemistry, and Jon Rogawski’s Calculus. Freeman is also at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art media products for instructors and students.

Worth Publishers
In January 1966, Robert Worth and colleagues from W.A. Benjamin, Inc. founded Worth Publishers, a new company with a unique philosophy—publish small number of strong titles at the introductory and intermediate level across a wide range of disciplines. Now Worth focuses exclusively on the social sciences, with a list that includes David Myers’s Psychology and its brief, modular, and Canadian versions (far and away the bestselling franchise in introductory psychology); Paul Krugman’s Economics (the most successful new introductory economics textbook of our time) and Gregory Mankiw’s classroom favorite, Macroeconomics. Worth’s media development to support teaching and learning in the courses for which they publish has earned worldwide acclaim.
