We publish peer-reviewed textbooks that present traditional content in historical and philosophical context. Our books are so interesting that everyone should read them, so we price them as low as possible.

Consider publishing with us
If you have written an interesting textbook that tells the stories of discovery, provides well-reasoned and documented arguments, clear examples, and novel exercises, please consider publishing with us. While we cannot promise that your book will make lots of money, we can promise that it will be peer-reviewed and affordable. And most importantly, you will retain copyright of your own work.
Why are we called Maricourt Academic Press?
Our press is named after a French Knight, Pierre de Maricourt, who wrote a brilliant treatise on magnetism 750 years ago. One of his principles, when put in modern mathematical form, is one of Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism. Read the introduction to Chapter 6 of An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics by Keohane & Foy to learn more about who he was and why he was important.
