History

"William Hazen Freeman, Jr. was born in New York state in March 1905. ... his father, William Hazen Freeman,[1][2][3] was a doctor who specialized in gastrointestinal issues.[4] The younger Freeman attended Hamilton College in New York and graduated in 1926, a member of the same class as famed behaviorist B.F. Skinner."[5]

"Freeman and (Verne) Kopplin married in 1946.[6]

"Macmillan’s lackluster interest in Pauling’s text was indeed the spark that led Freeman to create his own publishing house, and it was a gamble that paid off. In 1947, W.H. Freeman & Co. published its first book, General Chemistry,[7] (by Linus Pauling) now regarded to be a classic of the genre."[8]

The company, W. H. Freeman and Company Publishing[9] was founded in 1946 by William H. Freeman, Jr.,[10] who had been a salesman and editor at Macmillan Publishing.

"Freeman set up shop on Market Street"[11]

Freeman was acquired by Scientific American Inc. in 1964. Holtzbrinck Publishing Group bought Scientific American in 1986.

William Hazen Freeman, Jr. later founded Freeman, Cooper and Company in San Francisco.[12][13][14][15]

Works

Titles published by W. H. Freeman include James Watson’s Recombinant DNA (1983), William J. Kaufmann III's The Universe (1985), Jon Rogawski’s Calculus (2007), and Peter AtkinsPhysical Chemistry (2014).[16]
