Sinossi

Game Design Psychology explores the psychological underpinnings of player engagement, revealing how game design leverages these principles to create captivating experiences. The book examines how reward systems, beyond simple points, tap into the psychology of variable rewards and anticipation to sustain motivation. Similarly, behavioral reinforcement mechanisms, rooted in operant conditioning, demonstrate how game mechanics can shape player behavior for immersive gameplay.

 
The book progresses from introducing core psychological concepts like motivation and perception to exploring reward system design, cognitive biases in player choices, and the social dynamics of gaming. Through case studies and experimental data, it connects to fields like behavioral economics and human-computer interaction.

 
Ultimately, it emphasizes ethical considerations, advocating for responsible design practices and player well-being.

CISSP - Simple and Effective...

Walker Schmidt

This book is the best recipe for becoming an expert on information security. If you aspire to be a security expert by taking the CISSP exam, there is no shortage of books that claim to be the ultimate solution to information security. They dupe students into thinking that they are the only books on the market for this specific subject. 
Well, they may be dubbed as the ultimate but are they the most reader-friendly books for this dry subject? Will there be any juice to be consumed by the reader and fiber to digest? Are those books written easy to under language? If those book authors have crammed their work with technical jargon, I must plead with you to avoid this confusion. 
What makes this book different from the other books on the market is the fact that it is written in a lucid and coherent form. You will find all the topics well-connected and written in easy and simple language. The book contains the following topics: 
•Security Principles 
•Security Threats and Countermeasures 
•Business Continuity Planning 
•Incident Response Planning 
•Security Models and Controls 
•Secure Communications 
•And lots more!
