Efaltirio Press’ vision is to provide science enthusiasts with books that offer both rigorous knowledge and reading pleasure. Our books are aimed at:

• all readers who are interested in advancing their scientific knowledge and appreciate the role of science as a rational interpretation of the world around us,
• scientists who want to be introduced to new subjects, expand their knowledge and keep updated of recent scientific developments, and
• students who want to approach knowledge with a spirit of independence and self-directed learning within their field of study.

The main topics that Efaltirio Press aims to cover are basic sciences (mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology) as well as applied fields such as robotics, material science, biotechnology, and space science.
