After Jake Moore comes out to his parents, his father installs a large Pride flag in the family’s front yard, spurring uncomfortable reactions from more conservative members of their rural Ohio village-led by Jake’s neighbor mayor, who actively silences discourse around the topic.

Set in the ongoing Kellis-Amberlee pandemic, Mira Grant’s zombie adventure series Newsflesh (2010–2016) conjoins knowledge-power with the physical and technological apparatuses of control for a group of narratives that place citizens against the government. ![]() ![]() ![]() While I do occasionally enjoy reading books filled with tropes (I find their predictability very helpful with reading slump), I did not feel up to it for this particular read. Throw in a flimsy reason to keep them apart, some unrepentant baddies, and a ex-girlfriend – there’s your recipe to a run-of-the-mill story. They fall inexplicably in love, though there’s very little interactions leading up to these undying declarations. There’s an ordinary girl who doesn’t quite fit in, and a handsome and mysterious boy who’s more than he seems. The plot of this book is nothing to write home about, you’ve seen it a dozen times before if you’ve read YA Paranormal romance in their heydays of 2008-2010. ![]() ![]() There’s very little here that’s innovative, although I did enjoy the incorportation of Shinto mythology and religious ideals in the text. Reading this book was like watching a checklist of of i) preconceptions of Japan via anime/J-drama and ii) a stereotypical paranormal romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In his unholy pursuit of power, he has already destroyed the Clan McGregor, has begun subduing the MacDonalds, and is laying plans for the MacHugh and Lamont holdings. There was an adage in the Highlands, “From the greed of the Campbells, Good Lord, deliver us!” and Argyll was the archetypal Campbell – a brilliant practitioner of deceit and intrigue. In Bride of the MacHugh, Speas transports you to the Scotland of James I and his Lieutenant in the Highlands, Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll. If you accept the invitation to step in, she will pick you up, whirl you away and set you gently down in another time and another place, and when your journey has ended, you’ll know you’ve visited somewhere out of the ordinary. ![]() Jan Cox Speas’s writing is like a wondrous time machine. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are helping to design the app, you shouldn't necessarily need to understand the implementation details. ![]() In general, I do also echo some of the other comments. In general, it is helpful to understand software development as a sub-field of systems theory and design, so any book that discusses systems should help one better understand software development. It's still an evolving field and process. Software engineers still don't know how to exactly or even efficiently communicate with each other. I don't think there's an easy answer to this question. There are a few others I have in mind, but just can't recall the titles at the moment. (I still have them, may give them a re-read next month.) I'm a bit fuzzy, now, about which one I was more interested in but both were good books. I was always interested in ciphers and such as a kid so those two books got my attention when I found them in high school/college. It's well-written, and a motivated high schooler could work through it. I've read the first edition, not the second. ) - more technical (has content to work through). Especially approachable for that age.Įlements of Computing Systems by Nisan & Schoken (. ) - non-technical (in the sense it isn't something to "work through"), covers a lot of interesting topics.
