Despite the fact that the book brought together 41 different authors (with very different writing styles), AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “As the author of a two-volume book on nanotechnologies, I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title plus many others: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “Since my first recent association, I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.” —Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada AAP book title plus many others: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems “It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade. The best presentation of our work was due to their hard work and with careful scrutiny. I am sure that every one of them takes extra pains to publish the book nicely, maintaining the quality and timeliness. It was a rewarding experience to work with AAP. I would like to publish more with AAP on my upcoming projects in future also.” —Prof. Suresh C. Ameta, Professor of Eminence (Distinguished Professor), Faculty of Science, PAHER University, UDAIPUR, India AAP book title: New Frontiers in Nanochemistry, 3-volume set, plus many others "Publishing a book, either as author or editor, is a journey from the initial vibration to the piece of knowledge towards the present future of humanity at large. Such a journey is about climbing and tunneling, about diving and driving through, about inspiration and tuning, about hard working in every instance; and it is also about time. Very few Global Publishers have the wisdom and patience and kindness and openness to authors, contributors, and readers while being truly crafting oriented as Apple Academic; yet all is about people and their education, vision and assumed mission; the Apple Academic Team heartily succeed that in achieving the world class scholarly acclaim by the quality involvement in all chain of plus value added with each publishing event.
