"Penny's absorbing, intricately plotted 13th Gamache novel proves she only gets better at pursuing dark truths with compassion and grace." --PEOPLE
When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the S ret du Qu bec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montr al, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache's own conscience is standing in judgment. In Glass Houses, her latest utterly gripping book, number-one New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny shatters the conventions of the crime novel to explore what Gandhi called the court of conscience. A court that supersedes all others.

Great for getting into Unity and mastering it
Format: Paperback
Sometimes I mentor students who are just getting started in Unity. This is a great resource I can use to help them along.
The book has a great start by covering topics like what is a variable, how to call a function, classes, and OOP. There is even some tricks on how to debug your code which a lot of people struggle with. For statements this books covers all of them, if, else, for, switches, etc. Other books don't explain OOP well enough but with book goes over it very well and explains what the difference between a value and reference type is. Towards the end there are a bunch of project examples like making a player, shooting projectiles, and creating a user interface. This book is very up to date and uses Unity 6.
If you just started learning Unity then this is a must have book.

Code at your own pace to develop great games
Format: Paperback
Creating games isn’t intimidating thanks to this gem of a book. Easy to read and follow, the knowledgeable author makes learning C# fun and helps readers gain confidence, proving even a novice has what it takes to make a game. In addition, the author provides pop quizzes to ensure readers can measure their new-found knowledge before moving onto a new chapter. This hands-on approach is helpful and prevents readers from missing key components. Since my coursework never addressed connecting to the server and pulling data, I found chapter 13 to be of great interest and help. It was interesting to learn what happens behind the scenes and gave me valuable tools to explore, demonstrating this book is advantageous for both novices and professionals. There’s always something new to learn.

Well written and worth the price!
Format: Paperback
Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 6 is an excellent resource for anyone looking to dive into game development while building a solid foundation in C#. Harrison Ferrone’s writing is clear, approachable, and well-structured, making complex concepts easy to understand—even for beginners. Even though this book is about learning C#, it also touches on game design, lighting and animation. I especially appreciated how the book balances coding fundamentals with Unity-specific techniques, creating a seamless learning experience. Whether you're new to programming or just new to Unity, this book is a fantastic starting point. Highly recommended for aspiring game developers!

Timely and insightful
Format: Hardcover
As Clay Risen thoughtfully makes clear, the Red Scare of this era had roots in earlier decades, and its effects continue to be felt today. The parallels between those years, which included the HUAC and the Hollywood blacklist, and today provide an important examination of 20th century American history.
As he writes in the Preface, "Self-described patriotic organizations proliferated, intent on ridding their communities of Communism; one, the Minute Women, had some four hundred chapters nationwide. Parent-teacher organizations, school boards, civic clubs, and Boy Scout troops all came under scrutiny. Hundreds of books were purged from public and school libraries." Reading about the people and stories of that time, you will recognize them again today.
I also very much enjoyed his description of how the idea for this book first came to him--as moments from childhood memories which inspired years of research and analysis, and finally this engaging, thoughtful book!
