Wellcome Trust Book Prize : ウィキペディア英語版
Wellcome Book Prize
Wellcome Book Prize is an annual British literary award sponsored by Wellcome Trust. In keeping with the vision and goals of Wellcome Trust, the Book Prize "celebrates the topics of health and medicine in literature",〔(About the Wellcome Trust Book Prize )〕 including fiction and non-fiction.〔"Prize for medicine in literature." ''The Times'' (United Kingdom) (online ). October 11, 2012. Available from: ''Newspaper Source Plus'', Ipswich, MA. Item: 7EH1489323595. Accessed September 30, 2012.〕 The winner receives £30,000 making it "one of the most remunerative literature awards on offer."〔"New medicine book prize." ''The Bookseller'' (Oct 17, 2008, Pg. 6 (1)). Gale Document Number: GALE|A188642463〕
The current prize for medicine in literature was inaugurated in 2009, but there was an older award with the same name. In 1998, Wellcome Trust began offering a prize that would enable a practicing life scientist to take time off and write a science book for the general reader.〔Frances M. Ashcroft. ''Life at the Extremes: The Science of Survival''. See (Acknowledgments ), pg.xv〕 Applicants would submit a book outline and sample chapter, winners would then be obligated to write and publish the book. It appears the only winner was Michael J. Morgan for ''The Space Between Our Ears: How the Brain Represents Visual Space'' (2001), before the prize (for science writing) was discontinued.
From 2009-2012 it was called the Welcome Trust Book Prize. In 2013 there was no award however there were changes to the prize including an increase in prize money from £25,000 to £30,000 and a new timetable of key dates: shortlist in February and winner in April.
