Emma Bell helps you recognise that and find out how to best unlock it
599466
We all have so much potential within us. In this book, Emma Bell helps you recognise that and find out how to best unlock it. For me this has meant in my work, in my family, and in the 'other' of my inner self. The key to be found in this book is to enable you to think about yourself and the way you are from a new, more honest, vantage point, and in turn to make that relationship with yourself, 'The True You', a more healthy and positive one. I recommend it to anyone wanting to bring some fresh thinking into their lives.

Emem Uko is a young author who has a talent that keeps the reader's attention.  And one wants to see how her lead character reaches her comfort level even while resolving a personal tragedy.  Read the book and see for yourself.

For Jane Austen fans, this book will bring back all the heart-leaping of the first time you read Pride and Prejudice, but now with a contemporary, clever twist: emojis. Exquisitely, hilariously rendered emojis within cleverly written texts will, if you are coarse, cause you to laugh loudly in public. But if you are more refined, you'll contain yourself when you see your favorite heroines, heroes and villains using poop and other emoji. Tweens and teens who've never read P&P will perhaps be inspired to. Someone who needs a palette cleanser from more serious reading will find this a quick, fun read. I bought extra copies for gifts.

In three exciting novels, Trenton Lee Stewart has introduced readers to the Mysterious Benedict Society, a group of whip-smart kids and a few talented adults who overcome evil --- and outsmart evil-doers. Now, in MR. BENEDICT'S BOOK OF PERPLEXING PUZZLES, ELUSIVE ENIGMAS, AND CURIOUS CONUNDRUMS, readers have their own chance to, as the introduction suggests, "see their own wits tested, much as the wits of the Society members were tested before the Society was formed."

This new hardcover book offers readers plenty of opportunities to do just that, with classic games such as secret codes and "spot the difference" puzzles, as well as unusual mazes, visual and spatial puzzles, and games involving words and math. Like the Mysterious Benedict Society, solving all these puzzles would require a particularly well-rounded set of skills. The good news is that the book also offers clues in the back, to help get young puzzle-solvers on the right track without giving away the answers. Some may also benefit from being worked on in pairs or as a team --- just as they do in the Mysterious Benedict Society!

Scattered throughout the full-color volume are quotes from the original novels as well as dossiers on its most notable characters. It's unlikely, though, that readers not already familiar with the Mysterious Benedict Society books will be drawn to this puzzle compendium. For one thing, some of the puzzles require at least a basic knowledge of the characters involved. Diana Sudyka's detailed illustrations do an admirable job of evoking, if not quite capturing, Carson Ellis's original drawings for the series.

The difficulty of the puzzles varies; some may be solved almost immediately, while others involve multiple steps or significant investment of time. But the investment will pay off, as readers who complete all the puzzles are rewarded with a secret message at the end. There's also a sneak peek at what's coming next for the Society! Armed with freshly honed puzzle-solving skills, readers will be more than ready to tackle this next adventure.

Rating: 5 stars

In our digitally connected world today, everyone faces the dangers of cyberattacks and credit fraud.  If a cyber security expert can be hacked, what hope is there for any of us?

The author offers an answer to that question from his personal experience, as well as from his expertise, in this down-to-earth, easy to read and to understand book.

Divided into four parts, with a helpful glossary at the end to clarify for the non-expert reader, the book offers both information to have the necessary knowledge for awareness and practical tips for protection.

The author explains in his introduction what readers can expect.

In Part 1, I share my candid story of how my small business was the victim of repeated cyberattacks and how I quickly learned that noting is truly secure. In Part 2, I share best practices to help you protect your identity, business, personal data, and finances by using specific measures, both preventative and remedial. Part 3 is designed to help you stay safe in the challenging and always changing digital world without losing hope or sight of whats truly important. In par 4, I tally the major breaches that have made the headlines over the past several years and how they affect us all.

Readers will find after finishing the book that the author delivers on his promises.

This book is unique in demystifying the professional jargon that most cybersecurity experts speak to each other. The author writes in a conversational, storytelling manner to alert readers of the vulnerabilities while letting them know what they can do to safeguard themselves.

This one reminds me of the genius of Katherine Neville (The Eight [0345366239], A Calculated Risk [0345386825]), who features strong, leading lady protagonists facing mysterious circumstances and using their know-how to fight, unravel, and solve heavy-duty problems of the metaphysical and physical nature. Codebreaker's leading sleuth is Meg Parrish, who excels at breaking codes and becomes entangled in a surreal, high-intensity chase (from/to herself as well as some evil dudes). Great book.

This book is for anyone who sweated their way through Finding Emma.  Too often we are left wondering "what happened after"?  Steena did a beautiful job giving us the continuing story, I couldn't put it down.

I was given an ARC, and asked for my honest opinion, knowing that this is Emma Raveling's first crack at writing an adult novella, I was excited to begin with. I am very pleased to say that it doesn't disappoint, it was a thrilling mystery that had me guessing until the door was opened. What I can say is that if you enjoy a mystery/suspense novel this is for you!

Jane Austen's Emma is a mystery story where people do not understand the behaviors and motivations of those around them. One of the most mysterious characters in Emma is Jane Fairfax who ends up marrying the ambivalent Frank Churchill, and we all assume that the story ends with romantic bliss for all involved.  One character in Emma, however, believes that Frank Churchill's character is so lacking that poor Jane Fairfax will have a difficult marriage.

Indeed!  As Death of a Fop begins, Frank Churchill has been tortured and murdered, and his wife Jane finds herself also in danger.  How will the young mother save herself and her daughter from the people who killed her husband?  Fortunately, someone does come along in the stalwart form of an officer of the law and former soldier.  Together, they uncover the many unlawful activities Frank was involved in, and along the way the reader gets a great tour of London's underworld characters, including war veterans, kept women, and orphan children.

Sarah Waldock does a great job expanding the character of Jane Fairfax Churchill beyond what Jane Austen wrote in Emma.  The well-educated, thoughtful woman comes to greater life in Waldock's book.  Waldock is also particularly good at getting historical details and language right, much as Georgette Heyer does in her Regency novels.

So, there is much to enjoy and celebrate in Sarah Waldock's "Death of a Fop." As Austen started the mystery in Emma, Waldock satisfyingly continues it with this new novel.  And, I am glad to hear that Jane Fairfax Churchill will be solving mysteries in some future stories from Waldock.

This is a fascinating exploration of expertise. The leading idea is: How can I identify an expert ?
This question pops up every day: is this climate change scientist an expert ? Should I trust this nutritionist ?
The gravity of such decisions becomes evident when parliamentary committees invite experts to testify or when citizen groups
launch action against new technologies.

Additionally, Collins and Evans set to define a new class of expertise: interactional expertise.
Somebody can be an expert in the sense that she speaks the language of experts, without being able to contribute
original knowledge in her field of interactional expertise. Collins himself is an interactional expert in
gravitational wave physics, even though he is a sociologist.

The book describes experiments (real, gedanken and Turing-test) about faking expertise, these alone warrant reading the book.
Collins (with Trevor Pinch) has previously published Dr. Golem: How to think anout medicine, which explores medical expertise.
It includes a nice chapter of fake doctors, which is only shortly discussed here. Unlike Dr. Golem, this book is not a popular science book. Rather heavy sometimes.

Super Structure is a really helpful reminder of what you might already know or may have overlooked. Kudos for clarity, brevity, and style. Bell is a very good teacher and an integrator of information.

This book went a long way toward helping me understand a question that has puzzled me, "Why is there so much evil in the world?". Especially today when people are performing such barbaric acts.
Author Jonny Bell starts with some basic definitions, such as the id, the ego and the super-ego. He goes on to explain some interesting experiments that various famous sociologists have done that help to explain human behavior. Especially interesting to me were those that caused normal people to become cruel. Bell goes on to write about personal phobias and irrational fears, how they get started and some various treatments that are used.
He ends by giving the reader some simple tools that we all can use to help ourselves deal with anxiety.
Jonny, you invited suggestions. One way your could improve your book is to add a link to this spot, thus facilitating the readers ability to add a review. I see you have tons of reviews, however, so your readers must be more tech-savvy than I. Thanks for writing your book..

In this book, you get to know about how Bell and Walter came up with Cortexiphan, alternate universe thing, and forming a triangle to open a gateway to the other side. This book also explains relationship between Bell and Nina. For those who curious about the Violet Sedan Chair, you see some bonding between them and Walter - they even let Walter borrow their place for some operations!
