A better title for this book would perhaps have been 'Open Education and Open Science', and in fact, it mostly focuses on the education part. No matter: the subject of this open access book (199 page PDF) matches almost perfectly my own range of interests. Topics covered include open access, open science, ethics in analytics, OERs, open pedagogy, MOOCs, and related issues. The papers don't break a lot of new ground and it's a quick read, but the coverage is good and this would be a useful text for people new to the field. Highlights for me included the distinction drawn between the ethics of operations research (OR) and academic research by Dai Griffiths as well as the question of whether OERs are contributing to the private appropriation of the educational commons raised by Tel Amiel and colleagues.
