Free Audio Books & Online books

The Internet is still full of free entertainment and content ! A favorite pastime of mine and many are audio books, when I have the time. They are great to listen to while you're browsing or working. Besides, who has time to read any more? Similar to old time radio of yesteryear, they are great companions when alone. Check out Audio-Books-For-Free and many other free online book websites below. Enjoy....Jim

Free Audio Courses and Lectures from UC BerkekeyThe University of California, Berkeley is offering free audio courses and lectures through iTunes. If you don't have iTunes software installed you need to download it for free. Some disciplines have lots of courses and some have very few. Each course consists of a series of audio files, one for each class lecture and are usually about 45 - 50 minutes long.

Monthly Free Audio BookSimply Audiobooks is offering a new free audio book download every month. The first free download is [i]Living the Good Life[/i] and is read by the author, David Patchell-Evans. The audio books are in WMD format. As a brief review of the fist free offering, I will say that the content is interesting, but the author is a much better writer than he is a reader. However, his presentation does improve in the second half of the book.

Free Physics TextbookIf you or someone you know has a curiosity for how the World works this free textbook is something worth checking out. The free textbook is written in an entertaining and understandable style, yet manages to teach the concepts of classical and modern physics. The book is a 1200 page 40 megabyte PDF file and is fully searchable. The textbook is written to challenge and surprise the reader on every page. I wish there had been such a great free reference when I was a budding young scientist.
