[edit] History
Berrett-Koehler was founded in 1992 by Steven Piersanti[2], former CEO of Jossey-Bass Publishers (now a division of John Wiley & Sons), who envisioned a different kind of publishing company.[3]
Among the first books published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers was Leadership and the New Science[4], by Margaret Wheatley, which has sold more than 350,000 copies. The company published several bestsellers, including Confessions of an Economic Hit Man[5], by John Perkins, which was listed on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004.
