I just wanted to let Tipsters know about a service provided by the National
Academies of Sciences (NAS) through the National Academies Press.
It's called "MyNAP" and it provides a newsletter about current and previous
publications but here's the good part:  a number of these publications are
available for free in PDF format.  That is, the book version (hardcover or
paperback) has a regular retail price (sometimes they are discounted) as well
as an ebook version but the PDF is free.  Now, not all PDFs are free but 
sometimes a pay-for PDF does become available for free if only for a 
short time.

Here are two examples of books that are in this week's newsletter:
the 2008 "Science, Evolution, and Creationism"; see:
http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11876/science-evolution-and-creationism

And the 2012 "Thinking Evolutionarily"; see:
http://www.nap.edu/catalog/13403/thinking-evolutionarily-evolution-education-across-the-life-sciences-summary-of

More information on the MyNAP service can be found here:

NOTE: registering into the MyNAP program also provides one
with a discount (usually 10%) for paper books.

The publications cover many different topics and a number of them
are relevant to psychology and, more generally, the conduct of
scientific research.
