AnAqSimEdu - new free educational version of AnAqSim (analytic aquifer simulator).  This software was developed as a supplement to the 2nd edition of the textbook ''Groundwater Science'', due to be published by Elsevier in the summer of 2012.  AnAqSimEdu simulates single-layer steady flow with confined, unconfined, and interface domains. Allows heterogeneity and anisotropy.  Line boundaries include: head-specified, normal flux-specified, river, interdomain.  Nice user interface.  Available at this link:

AnAqSim (Analytic Aquifer Simulator) is groundwater flow modeling software based on an analytic element approach that divides the modeled region into subdomains (Fitts, 2010, ''Water Resources Research''). It uses finite difference time steps to offer complete transient capabilities.  AnAqSim handles multi-layer (3D) flow and also does fresh/salt water interface flow.  AnAqSim is much more powerful and versatile than earlier analytic element programs like TWODAN (previous Fitts Geosolutions software).

from wikipedia: Alphascript Publishing sells free articles as expensive books
 
 
An Amazon.com book search on 9 June 2009 gives 1009 (6 August, gives 1,859) "books" from Alphascript Publishing.[nan 1] 1003 of the books are described as "by John McBrewster, Frederic P. Miller, and Agnes F. Vandome". They are called editors in the book listings. It seems the only content of the many books is free Wikipedia articles with no sign that these three people have contributed to them.
 
 
The articles are often poorly printed with features such as missing characters from foreign languages, and numerous images of arrows where Wikipedia had links. It appears much better to read the original articles for free at the Wikipedia website than paying a lot of money for what has been described as a scam or hoax. Advertising for the books at Amazon and elsewhere does not reveal the free source of all the content. It is only revealed inside the books which may satisfy the license requirements for republishing of Wikipedia articles.
 
  
Update - Nov 2011 - Alphascript has changed its name to Betascript but continues to peddle Wikipedia articles as cheap textbooks. The Wikipedia entry on VDM publishing, the company behind these 'books' make interesting reading.
