PublicAffairs is an imprint of the Perseus Books Group, an American book publishing company located in New York City. From PublicAffairs' web site: PublicAffairs was launched in 1997 by Peter Osnos, and has published over 200 books since then. The company publishes mostly non-mainstream non-fiction books about politics and current affairs, both American and international. On its 10th anniversary PublicAffairs arranged a panel discussion with several authors of books published by them, including James Wolfensohn, former president of the World Bank, and George Soros. In late 2007 PublicAffairs was involved in a controversy about a statement purportedly made by Scott McClellan, former White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, and author of a book about to be published by PublicAffairs. In early 2008 PublicAffairs published a book version of Charles Ferguson's documentary film No End in Sight, nominated for a 2007 Academy Award. In June 2012 PublicAffairs published the nonfiction Island Practice by New York Times science writer Pam Belluck. Island Practice was optioned in July 2012 by Imagine Entertainment to develop a TV series for 20th Century Fox Television. Wikipedia [ - ]
