The CRC Press, LLC is a publishing group which specializes in producing technical books in a wide range of subjects. While many books published relate to science or mathematics their scope also includes books on business and information technology.
History
The CRC Press was originally founded as the Chemical Rubber Company (CRC), which supplied laboratory equipment to chemists. In 1913 the CRC offered a short manual called the Rubber Handbook as an incentive to purchase one of their products. Since then the Rubber Handbook has evolved into the CRC's flagship book, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, which is printed in its 85th edition as of 2005. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is widely regarded as an important resource for research scientists.
