Academic books 3 [humanities]

Access to up-to-date and high quality international secondary literature heavily depends on where a student or scholar comes from, and what financial resources they and their institute can exploit. There are students and scholars around the world who cannot afford to buy secondary literature, and educational institutions and libraries that cannot afford to purchase books regularly or to subscribe to electronic book resources. There are many students and young researchers who are desperately trying to keep up with new methods and results, to do their own research on a high level, to meet the requirements of a very competitive academic world, and get jobs - but it is not enough to be smart and diligent. For many of these students the only one way to escape poverty is the one through education - indeed, knowledge is power.



I do not share the opinion that such uploads cause financial damage to the publishers and authors. The majority of people who download these books do not represent potential customers. This is a form of civil disobedience and a protest against the practice that spares knowledge - and power - for the wealthy part of the world.



This package contains only high quality academic literature and original pdf-s. I do not upload anything that has not been published (articles in press, MA theses, PhD dissertations). Please seed as long as you can and use these books according to the written and unwritten rules of the academic world!

You wouldn't discriminate against African Americans.

You wouldn't discriminate against homosexuals.

You wouldn't discriminate against women.

You wouldn't disciminate against less wealthy people.

Making academic knowledge virtually unaccessible for the less wealthy part of the world is discrimination.

Discrimination is against the law.

Ripoff. It's a crime.
