I<\/em><\/strong>t’s not just another internet rumor. At the popular Concurring Opinions<\/em> weblog<\/a>, Prof. Daniel J. Solove<\/a> just proclaimed a phenomenon as rare and as welcome as a total lunar eclipse: His recently-published, timely and critically-acclaimed<\/a> book The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/strong> (2007) is now available for free download<\/a>. (see our review<\/a> from Nov. 8, 2007) They’ve even provided Questions for Discussion<\/a> for academic classes or book-reading groups.<\/p>\n

As Daniel explains: <\/p>\n

\n

Of course, I’d love it if you bought a copy, but if I can’t convince you to buy it, then I hope you’ll at least read it for free online.<\/p>\n

I think that it is great that Yale University Press is allowing me to do this. I hope more publishers decide to let their authors do this in the future — especially academic presses, whose mission is not just to make a profit but to help spread ideas.<\/p>\n

We may have no control over celestial events, but the free-viewing of important academic books is within the control of publishers and authors, and I hope Solove’s example is widely-followed. Thanks to Dan Solove for choosing access over potential profits.<\/p>\n

M<\/em><\/strong>eanwhile, also at Concurring Opinions<\/em><\/a>, Prof. Devan Desai<\/a> reminds us today that there will be a total eclipse of the moon this evening — between 10 and 11 PM, EST.<\/p>\n

See: NASA Eclipse Home Page<\/a> for details about tonight and lunar eclipses in general. And check out Mr. Eclipse.com, for a guide to photographing eclipses<\/a> by Fred Espenak.<\/p>\n

You may recall that the f\/k\/a<\/em> Gang was inspired<\/a> by the last full lunar eclipse, in October 2004, which coincided with the then-rare World Series appearance of the Boston Red Sox. We hope to practice taking some digital photos tonight — if the clouds and wind-chill cooperate. And might produce a new one-breath poem or two, under the influence of a breath-taking lunar event. Let us know your eclipse experiences tonight.<\/p>\n
