Dear All,
There was a European copyright directive about two years ago. Some of us
hoped that that directive would enable the creation of a facility like
Bookshare in Europe when given effect in national legislation.
Does anybody know what the current legal position is with regard to
copyright in any EU country especially Britain or the Republic of
Ireland?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Arctic submissions
Attention validators,
Yesturday I submitted two terrific books on arctic exploration, both by
Roland Huntford, a British historian, and one of the pre-eminent writers
on this topic. The two books are: Shackleton, by Roland Huntford,
1985/2002, RTF format. A thorough and scintilating biography of Sir
Ernest Shackleton. The Lawst Place on Earth, Roland Huntford, 1975/1999,
RTF format. Perhaps the best book ever written on the race for the
South Pole. Huntford's books was revolutionary when it came out, and is
still the standard against which other books on the subject are
measured. Huntford has a particular argument to make, and he makes it
well.
Both books are fairly lengthy, but very readable and engaging.
