Six books have been shortlisted for 2011 Best Book of Ideas, and they include Cordelia Fine’s Delusions of Gender and David Shenk’s The Genius in All of Us.

The prize – worth £7,500 in 2011 – is awarded to the book published in 2010 which presents new, important and challenging ideas, which is rigorously argued,  and which is engaging and accessible.

Icon’s MD, Simon Flynn, is quoted on the site’s page:

‘At Icon, we believe in independent thought and aim to publish books that educate, stimulate and engage the public in matters relevant to them. So, to have Cordelia Fine’s and David Shenk’s books acknowledged for this particular prize is extremely rewarding.’
