Science titles and textbooks

Oxford University Press will join with Chinese partners to publish two series of teaching materials, Chinese Language Teaching and Talk About China, which will cater to the growing demand of Chinese language learners who are English native speakers.

The Huazhong University of Science and Technology Press is working with Elsevier to render the first four of its nine-volume series on 3D printing technology into English, exploring the many achievements and new findings from key national laboratories. The press has already launched a global English-language version of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Hepatitis by Ning Qin, an online and offline publication said to be the world's first systematic exploration of the acute exacerbation of the disease from a Chinese perspective.

Also adapted from a documentary, The Journey of Chinese Plants will be published in English by India's GBD Publishing, and will explore China's links with nature from ancient times to the present day through the stories of native Chinese plants and their spread across the globe.
