X-link to the DRM-free thread for some programming-related Humble Bundle offers:
Humble Book Bundle Unreal Engine & Unity 5 presented by Packt contains DIY computer books for the titular game development software, as well as a video course and a free 30-day subscription to their Mapt service which apparently provides online reading access to their entire library. Also, two of the Humble game bundles are offering sampler freebies with source code and concept art sketches, etc., for other games which you may be interested in looking at. |

Endeavour, free
Roger Casement by Brian Inglis Brian Inglis writes in considerable depth the biography of a patriot who lived and died in England. Inglis is giving Roger Casement the attention he deserves, as he displays how he achieved an international reputation three times, sacrificing his life on the third. Casement was born in Dublin and bought up a Protestant, and although he caused a sensation in England through his reports that depicted the cruelty of both the Peruvian Amazon Company and the Congo Free State, in 1913 he devoted time to exploring the history of his home country. A year after the First World War broke out however, Casement made a fatal choice... He went to Germany and secured a treaty that gave formal recognition to Ireland’s right to independent nationhood. Brian Inglis is the author of The Story of Ireland, alongside a number of other works on Irish History and current affairs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XKFGT1/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073XKFGT1/ https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B073XKFGT1/ Last edited by Little.Egret; 08-13-2017 at 03:00 PM.
