CSHL Press
For Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2001 was a year of new beginnings. The entirely rewritten,
third edition of its classic Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, by Joe Sambrook and
David Russell, recaptured its place as a best-selling, essential information tool in experimental biology.
David Mount's Bioinformatics captured the suddenly burgeoning interest in this topic at the
undergraduate level to become the textbook of choice at over 50 schools in the United States. A
second textbook, the idea-driven Genes & Signals, by CSHL Trustee Mark Ptashne and staff
member Alex Gann, was published to high praise in December. Among the other successes in a
list of unusually interesting new titles was Elof Carlson's The Unfit, a history of the concept of
eugenics, and Kathy Barker's At The Helm, a unique source of guidance for newly appointed leaders
of research teams. Among the journals, Genome Research advanced strongly in circulation
and manuscript submission, and the newly acquired Protein Science, being published for The
Protein Society, was relaunched very successfully, with substantial increases in subscriptions and
advertising sales. Amid all this activity, 40 members of the Press staff relocated to handsome new
offices on the Woodbury campus, where for the first time in its history, all its key functions could
be conducted under one roof, with ease and efficiency.
