The surprising science of happiness
花光私房錢
痛扁討厭的主管
喝掉珍藏的好酒
向暗戀已久的人表白
捐出所有積蓄給慈善機構

Royal Society Prizes for Science Books(原名為艾凡提斯科學書獎(Aventis Prizes for Science Books))
為鼓勵成人科普書籍及青少年科普讀物的創作、出版,1988年英國皇家學院(Royal Society)得到Copus公司的贊助,設置了「科學圖書獎」(Science Book Prizes),隨著贊助公司的更迭,2000年到2006年「科學圖書獎」名稱以贊助公司Aventis命名,更名為「艾凡提斯科學書獎」(Aventis Prizes for Science Books),2007年到2010年更名為「Royal Society Prizes for Science Books」。
「艾凡提斯科學書獎」分為兩大獎項,成人獎(General Prize)及青少年獎(Junior Prize),;前者主要為適合成人閱讀的科普書籍,後者則適合十四歲以下兒童閱讀的科普讀物,得獎者均可獲得10,000英磅的獎金,入圍者也有1,000英磅的獎金。
成人獎的評選方式是由五位評審從六部入選作品中選出得獎作品,但青少年獎的評審方式則較為特別,是由五位成人評審挑出六部入選作品後,再將推選得獎作品的工作交由十四歲以下學童共同票選決定。
艾凡提斯科學書獎每年均辦理評選工作,長期以來對於科普讀物的推廣已有相當的貢獻,並已成為英國著名的非小說文學獎項了。
