How to download google books

Recently I have found a way to download Google books, which I am sharing here, this is for educational purpose only(for google too!!)
After extensive searching I found three ways, two of them no longer works or didn't work for me, first is a software called Google book downloader which is suppose to download books in PDF format, I tried its recent GBD-0.1.0.alpha8 version but it didn't work for me, second I tried a website leechvideo which again didn't work.

Idea which worked successfully is this

First of all you need Firefox, IE doesnt work

Then install add on Greasemonkey , search through firefox add on, you should easily find this, it allows you to run various screepts through your browser, which can modify appearance of websites, after complete installation icon will appear on lower right of your browser

Now you will need a script called [ Userscript ] Google Book Downloader, after installing this script whenever you will open the google books site, you will find a download button on upper right hand corner, click on it, it will list all the availabe pages of the books

Then one last plugin called FlashGot, this will download all the pages you have selected, just rignt click after selecting the pages and then click FlashGot Selected, or click FlashGot all for all pages


TRAPS IN this method: there are few points where you might get trapped,

dont try to install userscript before installing greasymonkey

dont search for books from www.google.com, because links generated is not compatible with this method, rather go direcly to http://books.google.com

In flashGot options select "browser built in", option rather than w-get

Downloaded pages are saved without extension (i.e, *.jpg, *.png), google uses either jpg or png format randomly for different pages in the same book, so you will have to apply correct extension by trial and error method(tiring thing) before you will be able to open the page in windows, If you are using UBUNTU, all pages can be opened without extension because Ubuntu recongnises format without using extension as windows does

converting to PDF with acrobat pro will require the correct extension behind name of every picture file generated even if you are using Ubuntu, but this is easier with Ubuntu as file property will tell you the correct format

and last thing you can download only available pages , so search for only full view books

All the best, dont forget to comment about your experience, your suggestion are welcome

SO U THOUGHT , THERE ARE ONLY 2 PATHWAYS FOR HELPER T CELLS, HERE IS ONE MORE

Bethesda system for Thyroid FNAC

This is a powerpoint file of a lecture by Dr Ed Cibas, from November 2008, describing the latest and final version of The Bethesda Thyroid FNA Terminology and Classification that will be appearing in the Bethesda Thyroid FNA Slide Atlas, to be published by Springer in the autumn (fall) of 2009. The presentation describes how the final decisions about the Bethesda Thyroid FNA terminology were made and some of the reasoning behind the various names adopted for the different FNA categories in the Bethesda Thyroid FNA System. The content of this lecture also supersedes what the Bethesda working group have previously published on the conference website and also in the various articles in Diagnostic Cytopathology in June 2008

Good news for Doctors

Whenever a consumer forum or a criminal court receives a complaint against a doctor, it should refer the matter to a panel of experts. Only after the committee reports that there is a prima facie case of medical negligence should a notice be issued to the doctor or hospital concerned.

This is necessary to avoid harassment to doctors who may not be ultimately found to be negligent. Courts and consumer fora are not experts in medical science and must not hold their own views over that of specialists.

The court also warned police officials not to arrest or harass doctors unless the facts were in line with earlier apex court guidelines. Otherwise the policemen will themselves have to face legal action.

Bakwas about slumdog

"THIS ARTICLE IS NOTHING BUT AND ATTEMPT TO GAIN A CHEAP PUBLICITY BY CRITICIZING A POPULAR AND WELL MADE MOVIE, JUST LIKE RAJ THAKRE ATTACKING AMITABH BACHCHAN", there are so many worse thing to criticize but why people choose only popular things, and unfortunately this movie shows only truth, there is nothing to critisize there man!!

For some people it is hard to believe that foreigners can create good movie about India and become popular, but the truth is truth, the first thing that came to my mind after reading the article is, Raj thakre trying to throw out non marathi's out of maharashtra, and criticizing Jaya bachchhan just for a shake of being in news. This mentality should change, cant we accept the simple truth.., slums are there, and reality is probably worse than shown in movie, No one becomes carorepati so easily, just accept that
I dont know why person like Arindam is running after such cheap publicity, I just want to ask, Are you going to join politics??


UPDATE: Phot of child selling Sunday Indian- Arindam's brand, Who opposes slumdog millionaire for showing poverty and child abuse in India
