Tsinghua University Press (TUP) has unveiled its best books of 2024. The selection process, guided by the principles of “staying true to purpose, prioritizing quality, and balancing social and economic impact”, undergoes three stages--nomination, initial review, and final evaluation, followed by public review of the reward list. This year, 31 exceptional titles across three categories--textbooks, academic works, and general interest books--are honored as TUP’s best books of 2024.
