Blockchain For Dummies For Dummies Computer/Tech 9781119555018 Computer Science Books Reviews
- This book is sailing under false colors. It's not a book about computer algorithms or data structures. It's a how-to for people who want to use bitcoin for themselves. It doesn't explain how it works, just what to do to sign up to use it.
- The introductory chapter does a horrible job at explaining how blockchains work. A couple of algorithm types are mentioned without giving insight as to what the general functions of the algorithms are. As a huge fan of Wiley's books for Dummies (I taught myself Calculus and Statistics via their books), I have to say that I have been severely let down by the content of this book.
- There are many books and resources on internet on Blockchain and its applications. This book by Tiana Laurence has the right balance between readability and clear exposition and technical details. Further, it provides useful links to resources on internet and step-by-step guide to how to use many of these resources. I teach a class on Blockcahin applications to MBA students at UCLA Anderson. Will recommend this book to my students.
- Blockchain for Dummies is a paper on blockchain for an insider who knows something about blockchain. If you do not know anything about blockchain, you will not learn anything by reading this book. The book is fairly superficial, in that it does not explain blockchain but rather it sets forth companies who are active in blockchain and what those companies are doing about blockchain. It is revealing (on page 75 of the book) that the author of the book is a co-founder of and the chief marketing officer at Factum, Inc., a developer of uses of blockchain. Thus, the author plugs blockchain without telling you much about it. For example, the author uses the term hashing and then defines it as simply "transforming data of any size into short, fixed-length values". That definition is not very useful. The author also uses technical terms like "kibibytes" and "Merkle trees" and "scalability" without much of a definition. As a result, after reading the book I was not smarter about blockchain, though I did know some of the companies that are working on blockchain.
- Crap of a book. You can get all the information in this book by just searching blockchain and its applications in google. Dont waste your money on this.
- Enjoyable, I recommend it
- Blockchain for Dummies must have been rushed to market. I've never seen so many grammatical and spelling errors in a book ever. It read like an early draft of a book -- bad syntax so you have to figure out what the author is saying almost sentence by sentence. Also, it didn't give me much insight into how the blockchain works. It's more of a collection of anecdotes and facts about the blockchain.
- Great coverage of a wide variety of solutions. Good guidance to get started.

The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Collection Six BBC Radio FullCast Dramatisations Audible Audio Edition Jane Austen David Tennant Benedict Cumberbatch Julie McKenzie BBC Worldwide Limited Books Reviews
- I am a huge fan of audio books with great stories and great readers. I love this dramatization of the Jane Austen novels. As they are dramatizations, they are not her writings verbatim. The recordings and characters are well done. The only thing I don't like is the packaging of the CDs. They are all on one post and my post actually arrived broken. The entertainment and listening pleasure exceeds this small inconvenience.
- A great way to get the complete collection of Jane Austen's work. Even if you've read the works, this is a joy to listen to and is a great aid for those who don't like reading or who might struggle with comprehension. And again, you'll find may familiar voices and talents.
- Really good actors and staging. Love it! Great stories and it's long, so lots of content to enjoy.
- Really well done. Fabulous actors narrating. Can't wait to drive! I've given two as gifts because I liked mine so much.
- Any Jane Austen fan would love this collection. A single box holds all the discs for the dramatization of Austen's six novels. Because the most likely person to purchase this collection is a Janeite, I'll spare any description of the stories and focus the review on the quality instead. The dramatizations are enjoyable. For anyone who would like an entertaining, light-hearted commute, pop these discs in. They're great to fall asleep to as well. The only minor complaint I have is that the box is not particularly practical. It holds all the discs in one singular stem. So in order to pick the novel you want to listen to, you have to pull out all the discs that sit on top of it. It's not convenient to have to do that. If this doesn't bother you, then there really isn't a downside to purchasing this.
- This is a fabulous resource for those who love Jane Austen's books! I have greatly enjoyed listening to these dramatizations of her books! I would HIGHLY recommend this! And the discs/box came in excellent, brand-new condition.
- Love listening to my favorite stories in the car. The narrating and actors are superb.
- Excepting Pride and Prejudice (which is a shame, because it's my favorite) I loved the dramatization. I think Mansfield Park was my favorite.

Per quanto fosse eccitata per il suo debutto, la cosa che le premeva di più era vedere per la prima volta Londra. Suo padre di recente aveva acquistato una residenza in città che li avrebbe ospitati per tutta la durata della stagione. Era giunto il momento, così aveva detto.
Le conoscenze in ambito geografico di Edith fino a quel momento si limitavano in generale al Devonshire, in particolare a Northam e dintorni. Ora, sapere di poter finalmente fare un viaggio, un vero viaggio, la riempiva di gioie e di aspettative.”
Londra. 1818.
Giunta nella capitale per la sua prima stagione, Lady Edith Courtenay, figlia di un ricco marchese, finisce nel mirino di un pretendente dalle poco limpide intenzioni. A trarla in salvo, con la proposta di un matrimonio di convenienza, è Archibald Lennox, Duca di Richmond e figlio di un vecchio amico di famiglia.
L’unione, nata con l’unico scopo di mettere al sicuro Edith, nonché le rispettive proprietà degli sposi, sfocia ben presto in una profonda attrazione. Ma proprio quando lo strano rapporto tra i coniugi arriva ad un punto di svolta, tutto è destinato a mutare.
Sullo sfondo dei paesaggi selvaggi della Scozia, terra d’origine del Duca, appariranno dal nulla un’amante dai capelli rossi e oscuri personaggi del passato, che metteranno in pericolo la vita di Archibald, il quale sarà costretto a partire alla volta del Devonshire per cercare di salvare una persona cara.
Edith nel frattempo si ritroverà faccia a faccia con la morte.
L'autrice
Dopo essersi cimentata con successo nei romance contemporanei, Anita ha raccolto con entusiasmo la sfida che le abbiamo lanciato, e cioè realizzare per noi un Regency.
Ne è venuto fuori un libro che si schiude piano piano come un fiore che sboccia e dispiega i suoi petali ai raggi del sole. L’intreccio infatti, come anche l’universo emozionale dei protagonisti, parte in sordina e molto allineato allo stile del genere, e si fa piano piano sempre più interessante, tenendo il lettore incollato alla pagina per capire cosà accadrà nella seguente.
Missione compiuta!

Playing Favorites A Reverse Harem Romance edition by Scarlet West Romance eBooks Reviews
- Well done story with a surprising twist. Nice character development. Great family ties, Looking to read more by this author.
- Dialogue was confusing and not much of a storyline. It seemed hastily written . I didn't like it very much.
- This was a skim for the last 2 chapters for me and it didn’t appear to get any better. This book had all sorts of issues.
First of all, voice. This book supposedly takes place in Denver, Colorado. This author does not speak American English and I don’t think it was British English either, as that is at least somewhat familiar to me. There were a lot of words that I could not figure out what they were, even by trying to read what was around the words. When this happens as often as it does in this book, it interrupts the flow of the book.
Next is the point of view of the book the book abruptly changed who’s view you are reading through, even in the middle of the chapter. Add in that one minute, the author is describing everything from the taste of the water to the color paint on the wall and the next minute, you can tell you’ve changed locations, but you don’t know where you are or how you got there and how long has passed.
And if this weren’t all bad enough (which trust me, it is), the grammar is poor. There are random words capitalized in the middle of sentences and all other kinds of craziness.
I was really excited about this book, because it sounded interesting. Now I just hope someone else writes it well. Sadly, this author did not. - "I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book."
This was a hard book for me to follow.
It just seemed all over the place.
The last two chapters were the best for me.
If the story would have followed that, it would have been better.
The reverse harem theme just didn't flow for me, especially in the end when she ends up with her one true love.
Kelsey, has moved back home to live with her dad after finishing college.
She's gotten an excellent job with a reputable firm.
She bumps into four brother's, who one by one she sleeps with, but had no connection to the first three.
She's not looking for romance just fun and entertains the idea of going through them like she did the college football team.
Grayson, doesn't want to share her and decides if he can't have her to himself and if she is in love with one of them he will just walk away.
Kelsey, had a connection to Grayson, even though they have spent little time together.
In
the end it is a happy ever after and everyone gets what they want. - This one unusual take on four brothers, Donnell, Heath, Clarke and Grayson who are attracted to the same woman, Kelsey. When Kelsey moves back home and has a new job she is able to keep an eye on her aging father and while out one night she meets not one sexy man but four brothers. Kelsey has an immediate attraction to them all and ends up spending alone time with each man but Grayson and she can not first understand why. They all are good sharing and once things come to a head that Grayson feels left out does Heath arrange to put Grayson in a position where he can spend time with Kelsey. The four brother’s have shared their deceased fathers business and their upbringing left some feeling different about the others. As adults those feelings come out and Grayson makes a decision to leave the family company. Kelsey gets to see what her and Grayson could have together and she takes a chance not sure where it will lead her! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
- This is the first book of Scarlet West I've read so I had no preconceived ideas on her writing style or what to expect. Well, let me say, this was a pleasant surprise to say the least. "Playing Favorites" is a reverse harem romance that will steam up the pages of your kindle from the get go. Kelsey has moved back to her hometown to live with her dad. On one of her nights out, she meets four very delicious brothers. Now the fun starts! She can't choose. Of course there has to be angst in a good book like this and there is. Tensions rise, old hurts and feuds resurface, and new rivalries ensue. Do I have your interest piqued yet? It should be, because this is well worth the time to read. A thoroughly enjoyable, sexy read that will get your day off to quite a start. I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.
- This is the first book that I have read from Scarlet and I will read more. Kelsey has moved back home after graduating from college and getting a new job. On her first night home she meet the Bradford brothers Heath, Grayson, Donnell and Clarke. She is attracted to all of them, but had a stronger connection with Heath at first. After that night, she didn’t have the connection she thought she would. She shares a night with each brother to see if she has a connection with any of them. This is a different take on a reverse harem romance. Kelsey spends her dates with them one on one, except one night. Who is the man Kelsey has a strong connection with? Will jealousy and the way the men felt when they were younger get in the way of who Kelsey wants to be with?
- This was a good book, it took me a little to get into it but it was worth it in the end.
Kelsey is back home after being away for years at college. On her first day out in her home town she meets 4 brothers and she is attracted to all of them. Heath, Grayson, Donnell, and Clark are all attracted to her also but each in a different way. Is there a future here at all or could this bring this family to its knees?
I liked the story line but struggled with the lack of chemistry between some of the encounters, but that did make more sense in the end.
Standalone with no cliffhangers.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

It provides team rosters and team histories, player biographies, a list of umpires and games they officiated and information on team managers and team secretaries. Well known organizations like the Washington's Mutuals, Philadelphia Pythians, Chicago Uniques, St. Louis Black Stockings, Cuban Giants and Chicago Unions are documented, as well as lesser known teams like the Wilmington Mutuals, Newton Black Stockings, San Francisco Enterprise, Dallas Black Stockings, Galveston Flyaways, Louisville Brotherhoods and Helena Pastimes.
Player biographies trace their connections between teams across the country. Essays frame the biographies, discussing the social and cultural events that shaped black baseball. Waiters and barbers formed the earliest organized clubs and developed local, regional and national circuits. Some players belonged to both white and colored clubs, and some umpires officiated colored, white and interracial matches. High schools nurtured young players and transformed them into powerhouse teams, like Cincinnati's Vigilant Base Ball Club. A special essay covers visual representations of black baseball and the artists who created them, including colored artists of color who were also baseballists.
