1. WOW! I'm getting right on that!

Thanks, malaise — and if I can find a comment line I’ll thank them too.

2. A great contribution from Cambridge U Press

3. thank you!

i'm going to check that out now.

4. I was wondering of any DUers have read any of these books and would like

to recommend any for us. I think I'll start with Whitelash

[barbtries]

7. I didn't see any I've already read.

I'm starting with The Underground Railroad and the Geography of Violence in Antebellum America.

A friend recommended 2 books for me, Black Like Me and White Rage, and I have them both but have only read the former. I've read The New Jim Crow and still have We Were Eight Years in Power on my bookshelf.

In the meantime I'm still plowing through the Mueller Report and also reading Crime in Progress. I alternate between relatively light fiction, good literature I haven't read yet, books about trump and republicans, and books on race. I'll be 65 next month and wonder if I'll make it. So many good books, so little time.

I would not want to discount the time I spend reading the news, DU, fb and twitter. Please let us know what you think about Whitelash.

17. I have not read these books previously, but have heard of 3 of them.

I chose Dangerously Divided, as I am currently concerned with exploring how we have come to our current problems in another persons' perspective.


And thank you Malaise for the link!

5. Awesome! Thank You so much!

I am forwarding this to several friends and family members...some who are tRumpsters.

6. Springer offering tons of free highly technical books too

https://link.springer.com/search?facet-content-type=%22Book%22&package=openaccess

I’m focused on math, physics, and CS, but they have other disciplines too. I’ve downloaded a ton in pdf format so far! Take note if this is up your alley!

11. Trying to download some now.

I must be stupid today cuz the books I'm looking at don't have an option to down load the entire book at once. Have to download each section separately. Help me malaise!

[malaise]

12. Only a very brave DUer would ask me for tech help

I have an eight year old educating me on Zoom

[Nevilledog]

13. LOL. I have the ultimate faith in you, dear.

Plus, I figured the 8 year-old showed you how to download a whole book from the site.

[malaise]

15. I'll try before my morning walk and hope the first one downloads

by the time I return.
And no, I've only been downloading school work by the chapter.

[Nevilledog]

16. I'll keep fiddling with it.

Thanks for the link.

19. On my laptop, the left side of the webpage has a 'Select All' link under 'Actions for selected content:'

Clicking that should fill in all the checkboxes. If you then click the Download PDF (zip) button, it should popup a confirmation box to download all of them as one single zip file.

Once you unzip the downloaded file, you will still need to open each PDF in turn to read that section.

I'm not sure how the other download options work, or how the interface is on mobile devices. If you are trying to use those options, I could test them out to see how they work.

[Nevilledog]

20. I'm on my iPad

Under refine list to the far right is a + in a circle. Clicking on that gives you the option to select all and download zip.

Never would have thought to clink on that +.

Worked!. Thanks for the help.
