EspañolJOHN WILEY & SONS
(Redirected from John Wiley and Sons)
'John Wiley & Sons, Inc.', often referred to as 'Wiley', is a well-known publishing company specializing in scientific, technical, business related texts, and medical books and journals. However, in the last few years, Wiley has also started publishing books on politics and current affairs. The business began in 1807 when Charles Wiley opened a printing shop in Manhattan which published law books in its early years and went on to publish current literary works. In 1875, under his son William, the company adopted its present name and added scientific and technical works to its repertoire. Today, it has more than 3,500 employees worldwide.
Among its well known book publications are the ''...For Dummies'' series, ''Webster's New World'' dictionaries, ''Wrox Press'', ''Sybex,'', ''CliffsNotes'', ''Betty Crocker cookbooks'', ''Frommer's Travel Guides'', and ''. Additionally, Wiley offers both professional and consumer books and subscription services, as well as textbooks and other educational materials for higher education and beyond. Wiley also publishes many journals including ''Angewandte Chemie'', ''Advanced Materials'', ''HEPATOLOGY'' and ''Liver Transplantation.'' The online publishing arm of Wiley is known as ''Wiley InterScience'' . Wiley InterScience was launched commercially in January 1999 and features searchable online journals, references works, databases, and online books.
Wiley operates in USA, Canada, the EU, Asia, and Australia.
The company went public in 1962 and was listed on the NYSE in 1995.
Since 2002, the company's world headquarters have been located in Hoboken, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, where the previous headquarters were located.
On November 17, 2006, Wiley announced it had "entered into a definitive agreement to acquire" Blackwell Publishing; the acquisition was completed in February 2007[1]. Together the two companies will publish over 1,250 scholarly peer-reviewed journals, amounting to over one million pages per year, in addition to both companies' extensive ranges of books.
On April 25, 2007, Wiley threatened legal action against blogger Shelley Batts, for posting an image from an article in the Wiley-published ''Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture'' [2][2]. but later apologized citing it as "a misunderstanding inadvertently caused by a junior member of staff" [2].
