Axolotl Academic Publishing Co. was founded by a former college biology professor who had been hearing constant complaints from students about the high cost of textbooks for many years.  Coupled with a concern for the low level of science knowledge in the general populace and a recognition of budgetary concerns in public school systems, this spurred the formation of a company to create and publish free (open access) textbooks in the biological sciences at the college and secondary school levels.  The first text, a college level textbook for cellular and molecular biology courses, has just been released, and a high school general biology text is now in progress and scheduled for Q2-2011 release.

The first text, a college level textbook for cellular and molecular biology courses, has just been released, and a high school general biology text is now in progress and scheduled for Q2-2011 release.
