Protecting Our Tomorrows: Portraits of Meningococcal Disease by noted photographer Anne Geddes (
Wikipedia entry) is a medical humanitarian photography book filled with pictures and stories of persons living with and some info to boost awareness about, made in conjunction with a number of organizations dedicated to the disease, free courtesy of publisher Sourcebooks.
This is actually pretty nice even if the actual disease-info bits are a bit skimpy, and the e-book equivalent of a coffee-table book.
Currently free @
iTunes (available to Canadians). Doesn't even exist in the other stores, as far as I can tell, and I think it uses some fancy made-for-iBooks formatting anyway, even if it's not officially labeled as such.
This is a 60 meg file, so people who pay-per-bandwidth used on their iDevice's wireless may prefer to download/sideload.
