Cambridge University Press is the world's oldest publishing house (since 1534) and the second-largest university press in the world. It publishes over 50,000 titles from authors in 100 countries,[1] including numerous Nobel Prize winners.[2] It also publishes numerous academic journals. It is one of two privileged presses in the United Kingdom, along with the Oxford University Press.

These include the following:
