Wild Enthusiasm - A Very British...

Steve Wright

No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.

Java and Data Structures - Code...

Anthony Carter

For every learner of Java programming and basic data structures, this book is a useful and comprehensive manual to tap into. Both freshers and those who have some coding experience can rely on its methodical structure "Java and Data Structures: Code Your Future: A Comprehensive Exploration of Java Programming."
The starting point is the most basic syntax of Java, the programming concept that forms the basis of an understanding. After that, the book introduces OOP, mastering such important topics as polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation, classes, and objects.
Mastering one's proficiency in every concept is done through activities and examples so that readers will easily remember and be able to apply the things learned. In the course of the journey, readers learn more complex subjects such as generics, lambda expressions, Java's Collections Framework, and the very powerful Stream API-all of which make data processing more effective and efficient.
The book proceeds further into important data structures that equip learners with skills needed to conquer tough programming problems. These include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and hash tables. Focusing on real applications, "Java and Data Structures" challenges the reader to use real-world applications that support each subject.
By the end of this book, readers should have learned how to develop scalable, effective Java code and understand the reasoning behind data manipulation and management. Students, potential developers, and experts can all use this book since it takes an integrated approach on how to be a competent and confident Java programmer.

(L)earn Bitcoin - Become...

Anita Posch

Learn Bitcoin is the best Bitcoin book to decide why and how you should begin to use Bitcoin. It presents all its facets from technical, economical, political and social implications. It provides a step-by-step roadmap to navigate this new financial world and sets you up with concrete recommendations on bitcoin investing, earning and storing bitcoin. Ascending the staircase of financial sovereignty will grant you personal freedom and control over your bitcoin money.
In this book you will find answers to the questions of what money is, where it comes from, its history, blockchain technology and Bitcoin specifically. It gives answers to the why and how to use Bitcoin while debunking popular myths and misunderstandings surrounding cryptocurrencies. You'll find a deep dive into Bitcoin's development since its inception in 2008 and an outlook on the future of cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin.
While mainstream media and economic pundits in the Western world think that it's just a tool for speculation, my goal is to spread the word about Bitcoin as an enabler of financial fairness and social change. What goes unmentioned in most other publications are the positive real world implications that a truly permissionless, uncensorable, neutral digital asset with a fixed supply offers.
Later the cryptocurrency book focuses on the more practical applications of Bitcoin (BTC) and how you can safely acquire, use and store it.
This is not financial advice, it's for people who want to (l)earn and understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin.
