QGIS -- Discover QGIS

Based on a number of recommendations online, I purchase the book "Discover QGIS, Second edition, 2022 by Kurt Menke". This was a $75 investment, buying the book new on Amazon. The book is in fact a workbook intended for classroom use, though the cover states that it is useful for independent study.

Data can be downloaded to be used with the book:

This yielded a 1.6G zip file: 
discover_qgis3_second_edition_data.zip
I unzipped this into /Projects/QGIS/Discover, only to discover that it yields 5 more zip files. These may be unzipped (one by one) in that directory, as they contain/create their own subdirectories, yielding:
