Pearson: Allyn & Bacon/Longman
Founded in 1868, Allyn & Bacon has a proud tradition of quality and excellence. When you look beyond the broad-ranging resources of Pearson Education to Allyn & Bacon itself, you'll find a company with an outstanding reputation in the social sciences, humanities, and education disciplines, as well as a community of talented people committed to providing lifelong learning opportunities for college students and practicing professionals. Our editorial, marketing, and production staffs strive to publish books and technology products that make a difference in today's rapidly changing world.
When 25-year-old Thomas Longman bought a publisher's and bookseller's business in 1724, the sign that already hung over the shop was that of a ship in full sail. While the ship logo has changed its look over the years, one thing has remained constant -- a commitment to publishing groundbreaking materials of enduring quality. As the oldest commercial publisher in the English language, Longman continues to build on its rich history of publishing quality materials for educators and students alike, with offerings in English, history, philosophy, political science, and religion. With our remarkable history, talented staff, inspired innovations, and outstanding books and technology products, Longman brings the very best in scholarship, culture, and tradition to today's educational community.

Wiley
The company was founded in 1807, during the Jefferson presidency. In the early years, Wiley was best known for the works of Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and other 19th century American literary giants. By the turn of the century, Wiley was established as a leading publisher of scientific and technical information.
Wiley is a global publisher of print and electronic products, specializing in scientific, technical, and medical books and journals; professional and consumer books and subscription services; and textbooks and other educational materials for undergraduate and graduate students as well as lifelong learners. Wiley publishes in a variety of formats.
The company provides "must-have" content to targeted communities of interest. Wiley's deep reservoir of quality content, constantly replenished, offers a tremendous source of competitive advantage. Technology is making this content more accessible to customers worldwide and is adding value for them by delivering it in interactive and/or fully searchable formats. Approximately 25% of global revenue is currently Web-enabled; we expect to increase that figure to about 40% within the next three years.
