Avery
Avery, an imprint focusing on health, wellness, fitness, psychology, and popular science, is best known for publishing cutting-edge, but accessible books from the top experts in their fields. Leading the backlist is one of the best-selling health books of all time, Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis Balch. Other top sellers include the The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Life by Cherie Calbom and Maureen Keene and The New Rules of Lifting by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove.
Founded in 1976, Avery quickly established itself as the most successful independent publisher of health books in the market. Penguin Group (USA) Inc. acquired it as an imprint in 1999 with a strong commitment to continue publishing respected, up-to-the-minute books with a clear focus on helping people make the most of their lives. To this end, Avery’s scope of titles has broadened to include psychology, inspirational memoir, and sociology. In 2009, Avery will publish Getting a Grip: On My Body, My Mind, My Self by tennis champion Monica Seles; Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul by Stuart Brown, M.D.; and Meltdown: A World Without Ice by Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Pollack.
