1807–2007 Knowledge for Generations

Each generation has its unique needs and aspirations. When Charles Wiley ﬁ rst

opened his small printing shop in lower Manhattan in 1807, it was a generation

of boundless potential searching for an identity. And we were there, helping to

deﬁ ne a new American literary tradition. Over half a century later, in the midst of

the Second Industrial Revolution, it was a generation focused on building the

future. Once again, we were there, supplying the critical scientiﬁ c, technical, and

engineering knowledge that helped frame the world. Throughout the 20th Century,

and into the new millennium, nations began to reach out beyond their own

borders and a new international community was born. Wiley was there, expanding

its operations around the world to enable a global exchange of ideas, opinions, and

know-how.

For 200 years, Wiley has been an integral part of each generation’s journey,

enabling the ﬂ ow of information and understanding necessary to meet their needs

and fulﬁ ll their aspirations. Today, bold new technologies are changing the way

we live and learn. Wiley will be there, providing you the must-have knowledge you

need to imagine new worlds, new possibilities, and new opportunities.

Generations come and go, but you can always count on Wiley to provide you

the knowledge you need, when and where you need it!
