free academic books

[kaberett]

• Springer Verlag academic text(book)s (via sebenikela): wide variety of topics, where I've grabbed a mix of chemistry and sociology and psychology and programming and physics
  
• Project Muse (ditto): a frankly... overwhelming... number of academic presses (with a landing page that makes it clear when the texts will be available for download until)
  
• An Introduction to the Rock-Forming Minerals, or -- as we collectively refer to it -- "DHZ" (via my supervisor): this has pretty much everything you could ever need or want to know about the structure and properties and identification of, well, the rock-forming minerals

Here by way of davidgillon - thank you!

I admit I was wondering what the hell Group Theory was doing categorized under Physics & Astronomy rather than math, then saw the subtitle was Applications to the Physics of Condensed Matter and all was made clear. XD

*goes to raid the math section of Springer Verlag*

...holy cow, they're giving away Lang's Algebra. (Not the text I learned from, but I've heard of it.) *grabby hands*

*bliss*

Figured you'd find things to entertain yourself ;)
