THE 100 BEST BOOKS FOR AN EDUCATION (NOS. 76-100)

I am going to list all the books on this page and give all information about the book that I consider to be relevant for people getting the books from this site. This will include who translated the work, the year the listed edition was published, the edition of the book (ie; 1st edition, 4th edition, etc.,) the number of pages the book contains and the size in megabytes (MB) of the book's file (All files are .pdf except two.)

Whenever Mr Durant states a preferenece to a particular translation or edition, I try to find that particular edition. If one is not listed I try to find the person that will be the most proficient at presenting the work to myself and everyone else who is reading these books. Of course this is very subjective and everyone's tastes are different. I prefer scholars when available, but theirs may not always be the best translation or edition available.

I prefer downloading files from the Internet Archive. I use Foxit Reader to read my eBooks and I am able to highlight the pages of text with this reader. I can highlight the tests that I have downloaded from the Internet Archive, but not on the texts I have downloaded from Google Books. I can make notations to the texts downloaded from both locations. The files from the Internet Archive are generally larger than those from Google Books, but I prefer to be able to highlight items in the text that I find interesting, and thus prefer the files that allow me to do that, the size of the file is not that important to me.
