Info Free Books + also U.S. copyright renewal records

[Guest guest]

About a week ago I posted info regarding a called SoilandHealth

- the owner is thw owner of a website and library of many books which are

free to download. You will be amazed at the books that you can download free.

Soil And Health Library

This website provides free e-books about holistic agriculture, holistic

health and self-sufficient homestead living. Free, online library of organic

gardening, natural farming, and nutrition. Plus many other subjects now; for

example, Health Politics. Highly recommended by Dr Saul. Health begins in the

soil; Healing begins with hygiene; Liberty begins with freedom.

_http://www.soilandhealth.org/_'>http://www.soilandhealth.org/_ (http://www.soilandhealth.org/)

 

There are also free books to download at a website called Journey To

Forever. The books here are mostly about farming, gardening, biofuels and

politics though there are some on health too. There are only about a couple

dozen

or so here - this is not a library like the Soil and Health. There are also

books like Weston A Price's book " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration " here

too.

 

Journey to Forever

Journey to Forever is a pioneering expedition by a small, mobile NGO

(Non-Government Organization) involved in environment and rural development

work,

starting from Hong Kong and travelling 40,000 kilometres through 26 countries

in Asia and Africa to Cape Town, South Africa. This is a participatory

project. It's both a real journey and a virtual one via a high-speed satellite

link

with the vehicles and interactive forums online at our Website, where

participants -- expert consultants or anyone with a PC and a modem, and

especially

schoolchildren -- can take an active part in the project as it unfolds. The

focus will be on trees, soil and water, sustainable farming, sustainable

technology, and family nutrition.The aim is to help people fight poverty and

hunger, and to help sustain the environment we all must share. Also 2

libraries

here with many free downloads of books. There is a great deal of info here -

must see it to appreciate what is here. This is also for anybody interested in

sustainable living for themselves in Canad and/or America.

_http://journeytoforever.org/index.html_

(http://journeytoforever.org/index.html)

_http://journeytoforever.org/_ (http://journeytoforever.org/)

 

There is info on copyrights and downloading at both those websites -

below I have added some more. Evidently if a book in no longer in print , it can

usually be copied and downloaded amd also is the author is dead, etc.

If I handed you a book and asked whether it was in copyright or in the

public domain, you'd probably turn to the copyright page first. Unfortunately,

a

copyright page can't answer that question definitively -- at best, it could

tell you when the book in your hands was published, and who owned the rights to

it at that time. Ownership can change, though: rights revert back to

authors, and after enough time has passed, the book enters into the public

domain,

letting people copy and adapt it as they wish.

 

So how much time is " enough " ? _It varies_

(http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/public_domain/) , often depending on the

country, on when the book was

published, and whether the author is living. For U.S. books published between

1923

and 1963, the rights holder needed to submit a form to the U.S. Copyright

Office renewing the copyright 28 years after publication. In _most cases_

(http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/public_domain/#Footnote_10) , books that were

never renewed are now in the public domain. Estimates of how many books were

renewed vary, but everyone agrees that most books weren't renewed. If true,

that

means that the majority of U.S. books published between 1923 and 1963 are

freely usable.

 

How do you find out whether a book was renewed? You have to check the U.S.

Copyright Office records. Records from 1978 onward are online (see

_http://www.copyright.gov/records_'>http://www.copyright.gov/records_ (http://www.copyright.gov/records) ) but not

downloadable in bulk. The Copyright Office hasn't digitized their earlier

records, but

Carnegie Mellon scanned them as part of their Universal Library Project, and

the tireless folks at _Project Gutenberg_ (http://pg.net/) and the

_Distributed Proofreaders_ (http://www.pgdp.net/c/) painstakingly corrected

the OCR.

 

Thanks to the efforts of Google software engineer Jarkko Hietaniemi, we've

gathered the records from both sources, massaged them a bit for easier

parsing, and combined them into a single XML file available for _download here_

(http://dl.google.com/rights/books/renewals/google-renewals-20080516.zip) .

 

There are undoubtedly errors in these records, but we believe this is the

best and most comprehensive set of renewal records available today. These

records are free and in the public domain, and we hope you're able to use them

to

determine the copyright status of books that interest you.

 

At Google, we're committed to making as many books available online to users

as possible while respecting copyright, and this is one example of that

commitment. Watch this space for more to come.
