History of Transaction Transaction began in 1962 as part of a multiplex grant sponsored by the Ford Foundation at Washington University in St. Louis. From modest beginnings as a groundbreaking social science magazine Transaction: Transaction acquired Aldine Publishers in 2004. Its journals were divested to Springer Science and Business Media in 2007. It acquired significant book lists from Precedent Publishers (2009) and the Rutgers Center for Urban Policy Research CUPR (2011). Transaction has strong ties to the traditional mission of American university life as a center of learning, and to the applied needs of public and private institutions in social research. Through its many publications, Transaction promotes mutually beneficial exchanges between the interrelated worlds of academic and professional life. Transaction has published more than 6,000 titles, with more than ninety percent still in print. Transaction’ Irving Louis Horowitz, founder of Transaction Publishers, encapsulated the company’s mission: “The purpose of Transaction is to serve with honor and distinction both the eternal aims of the human race in its search for truth, and the endless variety of ways of anticipating and achieving such goals.” LINKS: Transaction Web Page: http://www.transactionpub.com Transaction Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/ Drawing for Nook Color, $50 Gift Card: http://www.transactionpub.com/ Special Classics: 1962-2012 Catalogue: http://www.transactionpub.com/ End
