I am pleased to announce that my new book, Spam Nation: The Inside Story of Organized Cybercrime, from Global Epidemic to Your Front Door, has been honored with a 2015 PROSE Award in the Media & Cultural Studies category.

The PROSE Awards are given by the Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division of the Association of American Publishers.

From the AAP’s site: “The awards annually recognize the very best in professional and scholarly publishing by bringing attention to distinguished books, journals, and electronic content in over 40 categories. Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical professionals since 1976, the PROSE Awards are extraordinary for their breadth and depth.”

I am grateful to the AAP for this honor. According to the AAP, the 2015 PROSE Awards received a record-breaking 540 entries this year – more than ever before in their 39-year history – from more than 70 publishers around the world. ” Other 2015 PROSE Awards winners are listed at this page.
