About the Green Book Award

The Center for Science Writings created the Green Book Award in 2007 to honor books that address environmental issues in a compelling way. The annual award includes a payment of $5,000.

Turner Construction Company, the leading general and green builder in the U.S., has generously underwritten the first three years of the award.

The judges for the award include CSW director John Horgan, co-director Lisa Dolling and assistant director Suhas Sreedhar. The judges consult with “Friends of the CSW,” a network of science journalists.

The CSW also welcomes comments and nominations from visitors to this website.  Please see the “future” page for details.
