Books for free!

I'm a passionate believer in Open Access and Creative Commons, and try to ensure as far as possible that everything I write is freely available. My two most recent OA books are 

How Change Happens (OUP, second edition 2024) and 

From Poverty to Power: How Active Citizens and Effective States can Change the World (Oxfam/Practical Action, 2012).

Before entering the aid sector (and before the days of Open Access), I was a writer, researcher and activist on Latin America. Here's a full list of my pay-to-read books, including the two above:
