This book is a new type of Hybrid eBook/Print book. A hybrid book consists of a traditional paperback book, containing puzzles and answers, and an on-line companion set of web pages for the print book, containing detailed step-by-step solutions for each puzzle, instructions for each puzzle type, and other information related to the paperback version of the book. Each print book title has a unique Internet web URL that points the reader directly to the eBook information for that particular print book. You can preview the on-line extras and step-by-step solutions for this particular book at its URL: http://www.grouppuzzles.com/titles/B669BEBF/ The "Variation" books are designed to help people discover the puzzle types and difficulty levels that they are most comfortable working. For this reason, they contain puzzles with multiple puzzle types, multiple puzzles levels, or both. Variation books that contain more than one puzzle type will only contain puzzles with similar group sizes so that all of the puzzle types in the book will have the same general puzzle complexity even when the book contains puzzles at many different difficulty levels. The motivation for this type of book organization is to permit everyone to explore which types of puzzles and which difficulty levels they prefer before they look for a book with a large number of puzzles.

Anton Spraul breaks down the ways that programmers solve problems and teaches you what other introductory books often ignore: how to Think Like a Programmer. Each chapter tackles a single programming concept, like classes, pointers, and recursion, and open-ended exercises throughout challenge you to apply your knowledge. You'll also learn how to: –Split problems into discrete components to make them easier to solve –Make the most of code reuse with functions, classes, and libraries –Pick the perfect data structure for a particular job –Master more advanced programming tools like recursion and dynamic memory –Organize your thoughts and develop strategies to tackle particular types of problems Although the book's examples are written in C++, the creative problem-solving concepts they illustrate go beyond any particular language; in fact, they often reach outside the realm of computer science. As the most skillful programmers know, writing great code is a creative art—and the first step in creating your masterpiece is learning to Think Like a Programmer.

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
