The Experiment

The Experiment Independent publisher of a wide range of nonfiction and popular science. Our scale is intimate, our books far-reaching. Follow us on Twitter

We are an independent publisher, launched in 2009, focused on a wide range of nonfiction—much of it practical—including food (and how to grow, cook, and enjoy it), health and fitness, psychology and personal development, parenting, relationships, sexuality, personal finance, science, and nature. We’re called The Experiment because every book is a test of new ideas—and because we’re motivated by th

e curiosity and wonder of the unknown that drive every scientific experiment. Our books enlighten, empower, and entertain readers with new or freshly presented ideas, stories, and practices.

The newest addition to The Shortest History Series is here! Hygge, crime literature, and interior design are all hallmarks of Nordic culture, but these nations have had their fair share of pandemics, wars, and occupations, too. Historian Mart Kuldkepp brings readers on a brisk journey through 14,000 years of Nordic history from Viking raids to modern climate issues, tracing its political and social evolution from its first-known peoples to the countries now among the happiest in the world today.
