Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is published #OTD in 1937.
The novella has been banned from various US public and school libraries or curricula for allegedly "promoting euthanasia", "condoning racial slurs", being "anti-business", containing profanity, and generally containing "vulgar," "offensive language," and containing racial stereotypes, as well as the negative impact of these stereotypes on students. Many of the bans and restrictions have been lifted. via @wikipedia

Newton's "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica” was published in 1687. It spells out his three Laws of Motion, which explain the relationship between the forces acting on an object and the changes in its motion, as well as his law of universal gravitation.
You can page through Newton's own annotated copy of his Principia here, courtesy of the Cambridge University Library:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.
"Linux is more than a hip buzzword in computing. It is more than the latest fad. It was modeled on the Unix operating system first developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T. Unix was developed to run the largest network in world, the AT&T telephone system, and it did. The Unix operating system was designed to be scalable, reliable, modular, secure and portable with network extensibility.
...
The kernel is at the heart of the Linux/Unix operating system. It is responsible for enabling multi-tasking, multi-user, multi-threading, multi-processing, security, interfacing with hardware and the network. ...
...
Hardware vendors such as IBM, Hewlett Packard and SGI have bet their future on Linux. Oracle has made it their development platform and thus the platform of first release. ...
...
Future and advanced development is ensured as the source code is available to all. It is studied in universities and institutions worldwide. PhD candidates and corporate researchers use Linux to try advanced computing concepts. ..."
