National Academy Reports/Books Available as Free Download
Just received this from my colleague, Claire Rubin, who writes the Recovery Diva blog:
As of June 2, 2011, all PDF versions of books published by the National Academies Press (NAP) will be downloadable free of charge to anyone. This includes the current catalog of more than 4,000 books plus future reports published by NAP.
This is a really fantastic deal for those of you who are interested in hard research on a variety of issues. Of particular interest to my readers will be the section on natural hazards in the Earth Sciences category and the category on Conflict and Security and Security issues.
And while you're at it, check out Claire's blog. It's always worth reading!
