Lisa Yount's Nonfiction

From 1967, soon after my graduation with honors in English from Stanford University, until the early 1990s I slaved, mostly anonymously, as a writer of pieces of elementary and high school textbooks for a variety of publishers. Since then I have written and edited nonfiction trade and reference books under my own name, for young adults (junior high and high school) and adults, mostly for Facts On File and Lucent Books/Greenhaven Press. These are the sort of books that libraries buy and people consult or check out when doing reports. As of 2011, I have produced more than 50 such books. Several have been chosen as Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children (joint committee of the National Science Teachers' Association and the Children's Book Council) or Books for the Teen Age (New York Library). The following is a sample of my nonfiction books in print. For a complete list, or to order these books, type my name into Amazon.com or comparable sources.
