Barack Obama splashed onto the political scene with an inspirational, rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. From that night on, Obamamania was very real. He is bold and audacious; his rhetoric fiery, convincing and very compelling. He encourages cross-over appeal, discourse, affiliation, and has drawn many Americans, including today’s youth, into politics. This is the story of a man of mixed race heritage who inspires, listens, compromises, and is often bipartisan. With a charismatic smile and a cadre of “change we can believe in,” many believe that he embodies the American dream. Thousands have turned out to hear the dynamic senator from Illinois speak as he campaigns to become the next President of the United States. Barack Obama says that his story could only take place in America, and this revealing biography traces the events of his remarkable life thus far. From his upbringing in humble circumstances in Hawaii and Indonesia to becoming the fifth African American senator in U.S. history, and later, a presidential candidate, this well-researched volume highlights the hardships and successes, the people who most influenced his career, his personal life, and his meteoric rise to pop icon status. Rounded out with photos, a timeline, a bibliography, and an index, this volume is a must-read for high school and undergraduate students of current events and political science.

Once again, Robert Sedgewick provides a current and comprehensive introduction to important algorithms. The focus this time is on graph algorithms, which are increasingly critical for a wide range of applications, such as network connectivity, circuit design, scheduling, transaction processing, and resource allocation. In this book, Sedgewick offers the same successful blend of theory and practice that has made his work popular with programmers for many years. Michael Schidlowsky and Sedgewick have developed concise new Java implementations that both express the methods in a natural and direct manner and also can be used in real applications.
Algorithms in Java, Third Edition, Part 5: Graph Algorithms is the second book in Sedgewick’s thoroughly revised and rewritten series. The first book, Parts 1-4, addresses fundamental algorithms, data structures, sorting, and searching. A forthcoming third book will focus on strings, geometry, and a range of advanced algorithms. Each book’s expanded coverage features new algorithms and implementations, enhanced descriptions and diagrams, and a wealth of new exercises for polishing skills. The natural match between Java classes and abstract data type (ADT) implementations makes the code more broadly useful and relevant for the modern object-oriented programming environment.

‘Ace on the River’ is no ordinary poker book. This is the first truly “advanced” guide aimed at improving your game. Written in an easy-to-read, bare bones conversational style and designed to help anyone interested in increasing their understanding of the game, this book is ideal for those new to the game or winning professionals. The fundamental philosophies presented go beyond the green felt and can be applied in all competitive ventures. While most poker books focus on basic rules and strategies, the book’s advanced perspective addresses elements that effect both game play and the player. Focusing on a variety of subjects, such as the psychology of poker, money management, family issues, and sex, this book gives the reader a rare chance to look beyond the cards to see the poker world through someone who lives it. The unique you-make-the-call-play by play section will challenge the reader again and again. This is a review and guide to the world of high-stakes poker as seen by one of the most well-known and well-respected players of all time. From the beginning of 2003 until the middle of 2004, Barry Greenstein won seven poker tournaments and came in second five times, including winning a World Poker Tour event and a World Series of Poker bracelet. Known as the Robin Hood of Poker, Barry has donated nearly three million dollars of his tournament winnings to charity.

Originally released in 1988, Sklanksy and Malmuth updated Hold em Poker for Advanced Players in 1999 and called it the 21st century edition. Poker has, and continues to change over the years, and the updated edition reflects some of those changes. The primary changes include updated hand rankings, as well as particular sessions about non-standard (Shorthanded, Wild, extra loose) games. As the rules of poker continue to change, adjusting your play for who you are playing against becomes more and more important, and the sections on these non-standard games are invaluable for the serious card player.
Hold em Poker for Advanced Players covers most, but not all, of the material found in Hold em Poker. What it does cover it covers in much greater detail, and it adds much much more. The book is written fairly chronologically, starting with what hands you should play with and when, and then moves along through different stages of each hand. Then the book looks at specific strategies and cases, other poker concepts, and finally a quiz on the material that you can peruse and test you own knowledge if you feel there are leaks in your game. There are in depth sections on probability and odds, which really is at the core of the Sklanksy game (Mathematics), and sections on reading hands and even a small chapter on the psychology of poker.

As the study of tactics is recommended especially to young and improving chess players, some puzzle books group their exercises not only by theme, but also grade them by difficulty; and some include introductory bits of text that steer the reader in the general direction of the solution. On one hand, purists can protest you’re giving away the answer! while budding Alekhines and Kasparovs will be asking what should I be looking for, what’s important in this position, what do I need – beyond raw calculating power – to solve this thing? For many readers, the “hint” not only makes the difference between a discovery Aha! experience and some otherwise mind-numbing frustration (followed by book-throwing), it teases out and focuses on important factors in the position – a teaching tool in itself.
