We are delighted to be partnering with ASE on the ASE’s Book of the Year 2025 as it has entered it’s tenth year.
Alongside the Primary and Secondary categories, ASE have introduced a new Textbook category this year. The Textbook Shortlist has now been announced, and we are very excited to share the excellent publications in this new category. The award continues to grow, and as we begin to celebrate the quality of these textbooks, we are delighted to share the superb calibre of these books
Over the last 10 years, we have seen the amazing growth and this year has been no exception, witnessing again the passion for teaching STEM. As with previous years, we have had lots of wonderful submissions across all categories, and the review process has been tough! We would like to thank all those who submitted publications and the authors and illustrators for all their hard work in producing such fantastic titles.

Wolpert’s Principles of Development, the latest edition of the prize-winning textbook, opens up the fascinating field of developmental biology to undergraduates studying biology, medicine, and veterinary science. By focusing on the underlying processes shared by diverse organisms, the textbook lays the foundation for a deep understanding. It includes custom-drawn artwork and integrated animations to help make it as straightforward as possible to visualise the processes and mechanisms of this challenging subject. It also incorporates detail from both classic and current research to help students understand how we know what we know about developmental biology.
