I'm posting this ebook to help you all in the northern hemisphere who will be suntanning this summer to tan responsibly. And, of course, for those of you who suntan year-round in the suntanning salons.

The book is sold regularly at Amazon (not in digital form, though, apparently). Buying one there would lighten your wallet by at least $20. You can get it free here.

In addition to, or in lieu of, the PDF format, you can read this book in the brand new format based on html5 called "PubReader." You might be interested in checking that out, if nothing else, so as to be the first one on your block to have done it!

There's a link to it at this webpage.

Book Description (excerpted from the book, via NCBI):
This document is a Call to Action to partners in prevention from various sectors across the nation to address skin cancer as a major public health problem. Many partners are essential to this effort, including federal, state, tribal, local, and territorial governments; members of the business, health care, and education sectors; community, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations; and individuals and families. The goal of this document is to increase awareness of skin cancer and to call for actions to reduce its risk.

The first section describes the problem of skin cancer and its major risk factors. It also discusses the relationship between exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and health. The second section describes the current evidence on preventing skin cancer, including current initiatives in the United States and in other countries. The third section describes the gaps in research related to skin cancer prevention, highlighting areas of research where more work is needed. The fourth section identifies specific opportunities to prevent skin cancer by reducing UV exposure in the U.S. population and calls for nationwide action.

This document also includes six appendices, which provide further detail about specific topics . . . .
Comments: I believe this to be a legal free download because there is a link for it on the National Center for Biotechnology's webpage of "free online access to books . . . .". Clicking on it takes you to another NCBI webpage, which is one for the book, where there is a direct link to the PDF of the book (given below).
