Michael Greger has released an OA book on avian flu. Greger is an MD and the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States. A priced, printed edition will be released later this month, but the online edition will remain OA. Proceeds from the print edition will be donated to charity.
PS: OA books are now so common that I no longer blog them individually. I make an exception for this one simply to point out the convergence of high public interest and barrier-free access.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
