Computational Cognitive Neuroscience
O'Reilly, Munakata, Hazy & Frank · University of Colorado Boulder & Brown University
The content is organized into chapters, but also massively hyperlinked, and the content can go very "deep" while also enabling a very quick and relatively high-level of information that captures the key points, suitable for college undergraduates or even high school curricula. The main page for a given chapter provides a complete high-level pass through the material that stands alone, and is highly accessible. Everything else should be a subtopic page under the main page.

Introduction to Soil Science Laboratory Manual (Schwyter and Vaughan)
Anna R. Schwyter and Karen L. Vaughan · University of Wyoming
This text explores the fundamental principles of soil science and soils as a natural resource. Students will be introduced to the physics, chemistry, microbiology, morphology, fertility and management of soils, and to the processes driving soil formation. The major soil types of the world and their classification will be discussed, and the relation of major soil characteristics to soil productivity, conservation and sustainability will be addressed.

Calculus for Business and Social Sciences Corequisite Workbook
Victoria Dominguez, Cristian Martinez, & Sanaa Saykali · Citrus College
This text serves as a Corequisite Workbook for an Applied Calculus course. It is vitally important for students who take this course (and its corequisite) to have a thorough and complete refresher of Algebra skills needed for Calculus. These problems may be assigned as in-class practice problems, and can be also assigned as homework, to be graded and counted toward the Applied Calculus corequisite final grade.

History and Science of Cultivated Plants
Sushma Naithani · Oregon State University
History and Science of Cultivated Plants narrates how humans transitioned from foragers to farmers and have arrived at present-day industrial agriculture-based civilization. It entails myths, historical accounts, and scientific concepts to describe how human efforts have shaped and produced easier to grow, larger, tastier, and more nutritious fruits, vegetables, and grains from wild plants.

Introduction to Climate Science
Andreas Schmittner · Oregon State University
This book describes how Earth's climate is changing, how it has been changing in the recent geological past and how it may change in the future. It covers the physical sciences that build the foundations of our current understanding of global climate change such as radiation, Earth's energy balance, the greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle. Both natural and human causes for climate change are discussed. Impacts of climate change on natural and human systems are summarized.
