  • Book cover of Prelude to the Final Solution

    Follows the Nazis' attempts at a large-scale deportation system after its invasion of Poland in 1939 as it sought to reclaim territory and repatriate that space with an ever-expanding population of ethnic Germans. Standing in the way, however, were millions of ethnic Poles. Rutherford recounts the strenuous efforts and unexpected obstacles to the deportations, which in many ways were a dress rehearsal for the Final Solution.

  • Book cover of Modern D Programming Language

    Have you ever felt stuck between the performance of C++ and the safety of modern languages like Rust or Go? Are you tired of verbose syntax and complex tooling that slows down your workflow? What if you could have performance, safety, expressiveness, and elegance-all in one language? Welcome to D-a powerful yet often overlooked language that bridges the best of many worlds. But here's the real question: Are you ready to rethink what a modern programming language can be? If you're just starting out, you might be wondering: Can I really learn a systems-level language as a beginner? Yes, and this book will guide you every step of the way. If you're a seasoned developer: Is D worth adding to your toolkit when you already know C++, Rust, or Python? Absolutely. Because D offers something refreshingly different: compile-time power, clean syntax, and uncompromising performance-without losing readability. ✨ What makes this book different? It doesn't just list features. It talks to you. It walks with you. It challenges how you think about code. And it shows you how to write modern, safe, and expressive code that just works. You'll explore questions like: Why does D support multiple paradigms-and how do you benefit from that? How do contracts, templates, and mixins make your code more robust and reusable? What does "compile-time reflection" mean, and why should you care? Can D actually outperform traditional giants in real-world applications? How do you think in D, not just code in it? You'll also learn: How to build real applications, not just syntax drills. How to manage memory without fear. How to write code that scales, performs, and reads beautifully. And how to interface seamlessly with C and C++-because real-world software doesn't live in a vacuum. Whether you're a student, a software engineer, a researcher, or an open-source contributor, this book is for you. It speaks your language. It meets you where you are. It grows with you. So the real question is... Are you ready to step into a new way of thinking and coding?

  • Book cover of Modern R Programming Language

    Why are you still struggling with statistical programming when R could make your life easier? Have you ever sat in front of your screen, overwhelmed by spreadsheets or half-working scripts, wondering if there's a better way to analyze your data, visualize trends, or build predictive models? What if the problem isn't your data-but the tools you're using? Are you a student or researcher tired of copying outdated R code from blogs, only to get error after error? Do you feel like you're constantly Googling "how to merge two data frames in R" or "how to make a decent graph"? And when you finally get something to work, do you really understand why it worked-or are you just following a recipe without the ingredients list? What if there was a way to learn R that didn't just throw syntax at you but walked you through problems that real people face in data science every day? Imagine opening a book that doesn't just teach R, but talks to you. A guide that anticipates your confusion, answers your "what now?" questions, and gives you step-by-step, practical solutions to the kinds of problems you're actually trying to solve. That's exactly what you'll find in MODERN R PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE: Practical Recipes for Statistical Computing and Data Science. This isn't just another reference book. It's a problem solver. A companion. A code mentor. Written by Watson T. Rutherford, a data science educator and lifelong programmer, this book is packed with hundreds of real-world recipes to help you tackle everything from data cleaning and manipulation to statistical modeling, machine learning, and performance optimization. Every chapter is driven by questions you've probably asked yourself before: How do I import data from messy Excel files or APIs? Why isn't my regression model giving meaningful results? What's the best way to visualize multivariate data in R? How can I write cleaner, reusable, and testable R functions? Is there a "right" way to manage large projects or debug errors in RStudio? This book doesn't assume you're an expert. But it refuses to treat you like a beginner forever. Instead, it gives you the confidence to tackle problems in your own workflow using modern, idiomatic R. You'll explore both base R and the tidyverse, learn how to write robust code, and discover powerful packages for everything from modeling to markdown. Still relying on tutorials that leave out the "why"? Still stitching together scripts from Stack Overflow threads? Still feeling unsure about how things fit together? Then maybe it's time to stop patching your skills-and start building them with purpose. Whether you're: A student diving into your first data project, A professional switching from Excel or Python to R, A researcher ready to automate your analysis pipeline, or A curious analyst looking to finally understand what your code is doing... This book is your missing link between theory and practice. Between confusion and clarity. Between messy results and reproducible insights. Are you ready to stop guessing and start mastering R-one practical recipe at a time? Then don't just read another book. Start a conversation with your data.
