Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent You Can Be - PDF
نویسندگان: Janet Levine خلاصه: This book is well written and extensive in describing the nine enneagram types as they might relate to parenting. Each one includes examples of situations and potential pitfalls as well as advantages. That said, I was disappointed about a couple of things, which limited the usefulness of the book in my mind. There is a quiz at the beginning, the answers of which are supposed to tell you which enneagram parenting type you are. While the examples are fairly good, anyone who knows about the enneagram diagram knows that determining your type is rather complex and most people don't fall cleanly into only one category, but have influences from other types, i.e. wings, and move toward other types when at their best, or digress in unhealthy circumstances. While the information presented here is good, I'm afraid a fair number of readers will see themselves in multiple types and may become confused about how to proceed. Ms. Levine uses different names for the types than I've seen used in other material and makes no attempt to relate them to one another. If you know nothing about the enneagram, obviously that won't bother you, but it bothered me. I was also hoping there would be something to help parents identify their children's types since parents are not operating in a vacuum. All in all, I felt the book has value in helping parents recognize how their personality type, whatever it is, may be affecting their children in ways they didn't expect and we all want to be better parents, so that is useful, but from the enneagram perspective, it's not as detailed as I was expecting.

Security and HackingHave You Locked the Castle Gate. Home and Small Business Computer Security - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Addison-Wesley خلاصه: The content of the book ranges in nature from nontechnical examples through technical details that some readers might find hard or strange. That's okay—not every reader will understand every item in this book. Because the book can help you put some basic security in place, some parts are rather technical. If you have to skip sections or come back later, that's fine. My goal is to present the material in a technically accurate way while trying to make it understandable for nontechnical readers. That is a broad range to cover, and I'm sure some people will feel some areas are too technical or not technical enough. For readers who want more technical information, I've included links and resources that can cover nearly all topics in this book to a far greater depth. On the other hand, if you find something that is too technical for you, feel free to skip ahead a bit. As you become familiar with the topics and discussions, you can go back and read again later. Although users of non-Windows operating systems such as Linux, Macintosh, or BeOS will find the conceptual parts of this book useful, the main focus is on the Windows family of operating systems most often found in homes and small businesses. Additionally, users seeking advanced technical discussions of security or in-depth scripting and coding analysis of tools will not find them in this book. Those areas of discussion are outside the scope of this book. I will, however, provide links and references to those subjects as appropriate throughout the text of the book.

The Undercover Economist: Exposing Why the Rich Are Rich, the Poor Are Poor--and Why You Can Never Buy a Decent Used Car! - PDF
نویسندگان: Tim Harford خلاصه: An economist's version of The Way Things Work, this engaging volume is part field guide to economics and part expose of the economic principles lurking behind daily events, explaining everything from traffic jams to high coffee prices. The Undercover Economist is for anyone who's wondered why the gap between rich and poor nations is so great, or why they can't seem to find a decent second-hand car, or how to outwit Starbucks. This book offers the hidden story behind these and other questions, as economist Tim Harford ranges from Africa, Asia, Europe, and of course the United States to reveal how supermarkets, airlines, and coffee chains--to name just a few--are vacuuming money from our wallets. Harford punctures the myths surrounding some of today's biggest controversies, including the high cost of health-care; he reveals why certain environmental laws can put a smile on a landlord's face; and he explains why some industries can have high profits for innocent reasons, while in other industries something sinister is going on. Covering an array of economic concepts including scarce resources, market power, efficiency, price gouging, market failure, inside information, and game theory, Harford sheds light on how these forces shape our day-to-day lives, often without our knowing it. Showing us the world through the eyes of an economist, Tim Harford reveals that everyday events are intricate games of negotiations, contests of strength, and battles of wits. Written with a light touch and sly wit, The Undercover Economist turns "the dismal science" into a true delight.

Practical formal software engineering: wanting the software you get - PDF
Practical formal software engineering: wanting the software you get - PDF
نویسندگان: Bruce Mills خلاصه: Practical Formal Software Engineering is a textbook aimed at final year undergraduate and graduate students, emphasizing formal methods in writing robust code quickly. Engineering is an informal process using formal logics as tools and components to obtain timely practical solutions. This book takes an engineering approach to illuminate the creation and verification of large software systems in which theorems and axioms are intuited as the formalism materializes through practice. Where other textbooks discuss business practices through generic project management techniques or detailed rigid logic systems, this book examines the interaction between code in a physical machine and the logic applied in creating the software. These elements create an informal and rigorous study of logic, algebra, and geometry through software. Assuming prior experience with C, C++, or Java programming languages, chapters introduce UML, OCL, and Z from scratch. Based around a theme of the construction of a game engine, extensive worked examples motivate readers to learn the languages through the technical side of software science.
