For history buffs and those who needed details of the crash there was more than enough facts in the final pages, but I left those chapters and picked up on the portions of how each one was able to find work and rejoin life after such a horrific event."

"So i took this chance to teach my self if can or can't speak on c++."
"Now, most instruction books always have a few issues, mainly due to the learning methods of the individual. I have come across several instruction or how-to books over the years, and for some reason, examples are kept to a minimum. Being able to compare rules and specific code to make sure it is written correctly extremely helps. Also included is Practical applications of C++ this way the user can know what specific instances to use C, also the limitations and capabilities."
"It’s a good thing that this book is designed for the beginners like me."
"Since all engineering students are required to learn "coding" in their freshman year at the university-----and literally write a program that they can run in class----I felt this was the best book for that purpose."
"As the author says, you won't become a programmer by reading one book but you'll access everything you need such as references, terminology and basic tools for becoming one!"
"Along with examples; the book breaks down the components of compatible codes and Mr. Clark includes a nice series of libraries to get you started. Also, there is a detailed glossary at the end to help you novices out there understand what each of the terms mean and how they correlate to what you're looking to accomplish."
"By reading this book, i was able to gather many concepts of C++ and it get me on the path to becoming a master of the language.This book has covered many facets of the language."

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers.

Published by Informa Law from Routledge, the Taylor & Francis Group, as part of their ‘Lloyds Practical Shipping Guides’ series, this book, written by an experienced expert in his field, offers a clear and clearly written approach to this often complex subject and thus fills an important gap in the current literature on matters relating to the ISM Code. For shipping lawyers and others professionally involved in matters of maritime safety, this book is an important purchase particularly in this latest edition, in view of the many amendments to the ISM Code and other developments that have taken place since the publication of the second edition in 2005."

"The Warrior who craves to honorably lead his soldiers into the fray with all intentions of completing the mission and bringing all his men home, is becoming a relic and increasingly at risk with the politicization of the military and the rise of political elites."

Best Disability Law
He was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of the US’s criminal justice system. ‘Unfairness in the justice system is a major theme of our age … This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: Stevenson's life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life … You don't have to read too long to start cheering for this man. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful … Bryan Stevenson has been angry about [the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.’ The New York Times. When Stevenson was a 23-year-old Harvard law student, he started an internship in Georgia where his first assignment was to deliver a message to a man living on death row. This is a title for the many young adults who have a parent or loved one in the prison system and the many others who are interested in social justice, the law, and the death penalty. [It] demonstrates, as powerfully as any book on criminal justice that I’ve ever read, the extent to which brutality, unfairness, and racial bias continue to infect criminal law in the United States. But at the same time that [Bryan] Stevenson tells an utterly damning story of deep-seated and widespread injustice, he also recounts instances of human compassion, understanding, mercy, and justice that offer hope. Just Mercy is a remarkable amalgam, at once a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.” —David Cole, The New York Review of Books “A searing, moving and infuriating memoir . This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: [Bryan] Stevenson’s life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life. Against tremendous odds, Stevenson has worked to free scores of people from wrongful or excessive punishment, arguing five times before the Supreme Court. Stevenson has been angry about [the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.” —Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review “Inspiring . “As deeply moving, poignant and powerful a book as has been, and maybe ever can be, written about the death penalty.” —The Financial Times “Brilliant.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer. Bryan Stevenson, however, is very much alive and doing God’s work fighting for the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the vulnerable, the outcast, and those with no hope. Just Mercy is his inspiring and powerful story.” —John Grisham “Bryan Stevenson is one of my personal heroes, perhaps the most inspiring and influential crusader for justice alive today, and Just Mercy is extraordinary. Bryan Stevenson is a real-life, modern-day Atticus Finch who, through his work in redeeming innocent people condemned to death, has sought to redeem the country itself. It is inspiring and suspenseful—a revelation.” —Isabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns “Words such as important and compelling may have lost their force through overuse, but reading this book will restore their meaning, along with one’s hopes for humanity.” —Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains “Bryan Stevenson is America’s young Nelson Mandela, a brilliant lawyer fighting with courage and conviction to guarantee justice for all. Just Mercy should be read by people of conscience in every civilized country in the world to discover what happens when revenge and retribution replace justice and mercy.

"I have a new hero . Bryan Stevenson. This is a great book."
"This is a system that condemns children to life imprisonment without parole, that makes petty theft a crime as serious as murder, and that has declared war on hundreds of thousands of people with substance abuse problems by imprisoning them and denying them help. JUST MERCY explores a number of devastating cases, including children as young as fourteen facing life imprisonment, and scores of people on death row - mostly poor, and mostly black - who have been unfairly convicted. But the central focus is on Walter McMillan, a black man sentenced to death for the murder of a prominent young white woman. Ours is no longer a country that sees compassion as a virtue; instead, we write harsher and harsher laws that demand longer and longer sentences for those we consider undesirables. It's rare these days to meet someone who truly dedicates himself to those least able to help themselves, especially someone who isn't after media attention or self-promotion."

My daughter in first grade could easily read this book by herself, and both kids were very interested in the short facts and pictures included in this book."
"Upon exploring the book, we found the book to be very visually appealing. If you are looking for a book about the solar system which holds a child's interest and brings this aspect of physical science to life, this book is for you. Although I could have received a discount, as I had planned to review this book, I did not receive the discount, because I was tardy in utilizing my promo code. I still wanted the book, so I did purchase it at the 99 cent kindle book price."
"This book starts off with an explanation as to exactly what is included in our solar system. It helps to give second graders an idea of just how vast our solar system is. I think that this book does a great job of presenting information using language that most second graders will be able to understand. I would be surprised if a second grader was able to read this book themselves, but it has great pictures and facts. This book is a great place to start exploring our solar system."
"This book did not do a good job of explaining terms used like magnetosphere and satellite."
