Columbia University Press, founded in 1893, is a non-profit publishing institution independent of universities, Ranking No. One of the oldest university publishing houses in America.

Four. Its purpose is to "promote the development of economics, history, literature, science and other disciplines, and encourage and promote the publication of original works in these fields."

During the development of more than a century, Columbia University Press published many books that were unique at that time and later became classics. Perhaps the most famous is the Columbia Encyclopedia, which is the first single-volume English encyclopedia. Since then, the publishing house has developed a series of encyclopedias, which has become a feature that distinguishes this community from other American university publishing houses. Among them, Granger's index of poetry, Granger's Poems, is still regarded as an indispensable reference tool by librarians.

Columbia University's research and educational features in Asian civilization are also reflected in its publications. William Theodore de Bary (William Theodore de Bary 19 19), former president of Columbia University, professor of East Asian Language and Culture Department, is a famous scholar studying China Thought overseas. He directed the publication of four far-reaching poems: The Origin of Indian Tradition, The Origin of Japanese Tradition, The Origin of China Tradition and The Origin of Korean Tradition. Later, a series of translated works were published, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War: The Art of War, which set a benchmark for translated works. Columbia University Press now publishes about 150 new books every year, covering Asian studies and literature, history, literary studies, food culture, religious philosophy, social work and business, news events, international affairs, political theory, Middle East studies, economy, finance, film and media studies, neuroscience, biological science, environmental science, paleontology and so on.
