Description:
A compelling insight into the making of one of Australia’s foremost public intellectuals.
A classic of Australian literature, The Education of Young Donald Trilogy combines Donald Horne’s three autobiographies – The Education of Young Donald (1967), Confessions of a New Boy (1985) and Portrait of an Optimist (1988) – in one volume. With a keen intellect, sharp wit and dry humour, Horne vividly describes his formative years as he moves between different millieux, from an idyllic rural childhood to the excitement of university, experience as a Second World War serviceman, life in post-war England and the rough and tumble world of old-school journalism.
With a foreword by novelist Tracy Sorensen and a new introduction by Julia Horne and Nick Horne, The Education of Young Donald Trilogy is a revealing and instructive tale from the author of The Lucky Country and an absorbing account of Australian social and intellectual life from the 1920s to the 1950s.
‘Donald Horne looks down on Australia from the loftiest heights in the pantheon. He’s up there with Patrick White as our most savage literary lion. The Education of Young Donald Trilogy is a masterpiece and should replace the Gideon Bible in motel drawers.’ — Phillip Adams
‘Donald Horne was an eager participant in twentieth century public conversations that made Australia what it is today. His searching autobiographical trilogy introduces him to a new generation of readers.’ — Edmund Campion
‘Horne’s trilogy of autobiography is his most substantial legacy, for its clarity of observation on the

Great introduction to Linux kernel development
Format: Kindle
This is a great book for those wanting to get into Linux kernel development. It has a good flow to the writing and doesn't try and bury you with too much deep knowledge as a beginner (just enough to give you the basics of the concepts being discussed). if you purchase this book there is a second book with more depth on programming provided free (on the books website github). I enjoyed this book so much I've purchased the second book for my kindle reader to support the author.
I've also purchased Kaiwan's book on Linux kernel debugging which is also an excellent read; giving you a good introduction to all the different methods/tools that can be used to help you debug those stubborn issues you'll inevitably encounter working as a kernel developer.
I can't wait to read the next edition of this book coming out in January; revised for the 6.x kernel. FYI, I've read this book and worked through all the examples on the latest Linux stable kernel (as of this review 6.4.x/6.5.x-rcX).
You won't regret getting this book if you want to start down the path of being a Linux kernel developer! I'd love to see a book from Kaiwan on developing module/drivers using Rust (with it's support now included in Linux kernel since 6.2). :-)

Excellent book with information presented in great depth
Format: Paperback
I would highly recommend this book to people interested in learning the internal working of the Linux kernel and writing kernel level code like device drivers. Everything is covered in great detail and where impractical many resources are provided to further explore the topic. Definitely a must read!
