"The English Governess at the Siamese Court" by Anna Harriette Leonowens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences as an English governess in the royal court of Siam, focusing on her interactions with the royal family and the cultural complexities of the period. It explores themes of education, cultural exchange, and the contrasting values between East and West, particularly through the lens of the author's role in improving the royal children's education. The opening of the work finds Leonowens aboard a Siamese steamer, approaching Bangkok with anticipation and trepidation. She reflects on her journey, spurred by a royal invitation to educate the children of King Mongkut, and details her emotional turmoil as she leaves behind the comforts of home. Capturing the vivid imagery of the lush landscape and the tumultuous currents of the river Meinam, Leonowens introduces herself and her son amidst a crew of diverse characters, foreshadowing both the cultural richness and the challenges ahead. As she arrives at the dock, the author faces the uncertainty of her situation, marked by a striking encounter with the Prime Minister, who, despite his apparent authority, presents a mixture of intrigue and discomfort. This sets the stage for a narrative that delves into her future as a governess in a land fraught with both beauty and complexity.

Great for getting into Unity and mastering it
Format: Paperback
Sometimes I mentor students who are just getting started in Unity. This is a great resource I can use to help them along. The book has a great start by covering topics like what is a variable, how to call a function, classes, and OOP. There is even some tricks on how to debug your code which a lot of people struggle with. For statements this books covers all of them, if, else, for, switches, etc. Other books don't explain OOP well enough but with book goes over it very well and explains what the difference between a value and reference type is. Towards the end there are a bunch of project examples like making a player, shooting projectiles, and creating a user interface. This book is very up to date and uses Unity 6. If you just started learning Unity then this is a must have book.

Code at your own pace to develop great games
Format: Paperback
Creating games isn’t intimidating thanks to this gem of a book. Easy to read and follow, the knowledgeable author makes learning C# fun and helps readers gain confidence, proving even a novice has what it takes to make a game. In addition, the author provides pop quizzes to ensure readers can measure their new-found knowledge before moving onto a new chapter. This hands-on approach is helpful and prevents readers from missing key components. Since my coursework never addressed connecting to the server and pulling data, I found chapter 13 to be of great interest and help. It was interesting to learn what happens behind the scenes and gave me valuable tools to explore, demonstrating this book is advantageous for both novices and professionals. There’s always something new to learn.

Well written and worth the price!
Format: Paperback
Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 6 is an excellent resource for anyone looking to dive into game development while building a solid foundation in C#. Harrison Ferrone’s writing is clear, approachable, and well-structured, making complex concepts easy to understand—even for beginners. Even though this book is about learning C#, it also touches on game design, lighting and animation. I especially appreciated how the book balances coding fundamentals with Unity-specific techniques, creating a seamless learning experience. Whether you're new to programming or just new to Unity, this book is a fantastic starting point. Highly recommended for aspiring game developers!

Timely and insightful
Format: Hardcover
As Clay Risen thoughtfully makes clear, the Red Scare of this era had roots in earlier decades, and its effects continue to be felt today. The parallels between those years, which included the HUAC and the Hollywood blacklist, and today provide an important examination of 20th century American history. As he writes in the Preface, "Self-described patriotic organizations proliferated, intent on ridding their communities of Communism; one, the Minute Women, had some four hundred chapters nationwide. Parent-teacher organizations, school boards, civic clubs, and Boy Scout troops all came under scrutiny. Hundreds of books were purged from public and school libraries." Reading about the people and stories of that time, you will recognize them again today. I also very much enjoyed his description of how the idea for this book first came to him--as moments from childhood memories which inspired years of research and analysis, and finally this engaging, thoughtful book!
