It is never too late to learn a new one, and even less when Springer Nature, one of the great publishers of scientific publications, allows you to download more than 400 books from all branches of knowledge completely free . They are complete books, in PDF (or ePub) and have no DRM of any kind, just a watermark outside the reading area that does not affect visibility.
Now, it should be noted that all the books are in English and that, in some cases, they can be quite technical. In English there are a total of 408 books that weigh around eight gigs , although the weight varies according to each book. All of them can be found on this Excel sheet , but below we will propose a selection of titles with a Xatakera theme.
Knowledge does not take place and even less if you can do it for free
Springer Nature has released these books due to the coronavirus pandemic
Springer Nature has released these books due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is a global program to “support learning and teaching in higher education institutions around the world”. The largest amount is in English textbooks, which is the one linked above, but there are also German books, both textbooks and focused on emergency nursing. Together they add more than 500 books.
There are many, no doubt, so here is a short selection of titles with a NUpgrade theme. There are books on data mining, cryptography, Phyton, artificial intelligence and machine learning, science, physics, mathematics … All of them in English, remember, but if you have a fluent knowledge of the language and the subject it is always good to give them a chance.
