Academic publisher Palgrave Macmillan has announced that they have published their first open access monograph, the first comprehensive history of fungal infections, funded by The Wellcome Trust.
Fungal Disease in Britain and the US 1850-2000, by Dr Aya Homei and Professor Michael Worboys, will be available as a free ebook to download from Palgrave Connect and online retailers such as Amazon Kindle.
The book is published through a CC BY license, the most permissive open access license, meaning that readers can alter, transform, or build upon the article and then distribute the resulting work as long as the original work is correctly cited. It will be available in print copy on demand.
