Public domain day

http://everybodyslibraries.com/2008/01/01/public-domain-day-gifts/ [Published: 01-Jan-08 | Permalink | Category: Science seen]

For those of us in life+50 countries, we may now mess around freely with the formerly-copyrighted works of Dorothy L.Sayers, Sibelius, Laura Ingolls Wilder, Lord Dunsany, Oliver Hardy and others. In the science world, the works of two Nazi-sympathizing Nobel laureates (Bothe and Stark), two more laureates (Langmuir, who also coined the phrase "pathological science", and Cori) ,and Russell (of diagrammatic fame) and entered the public domain. 2005 had a more interesting crop sciencewise. 2006 was sparser but gave us A.A.Milne and Alfred Kinsey, otherwise so rarely shelved together.
Next year we get Franklin and Pauli, amongst others.
