City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of AmericaThe epic of Chicago is the story of the emergence of modern America. Here, witness Chicago's growth from a desolate fur trading post in the 1830s to one of the world's most explosively alive cities by 1900. Donald Miller's powerful narrative embraces it all: Chicago's wild beginnings, its reckless growth, its natural calamities (especially the Great Fire of 1871), its raucous politics, its empire building businessmen, its world transforming
The epic of Chicago is the story of the emergence of modern America. Here, witness Chicago's growth from a desolate fur-trading post in the 1830s to one of the world's most explosively alive cities by 1900. Donald Miller's powerful narrative embraces it all: Chicago's wild beginnings, its reckless growth, its natural calamities (especially the Great Fire of 1871), its raucous politics, its empire-building businessmen, its world-transforming architecture, its rich mix of cultures, its community of young writers and journalists, and its staggering engineering projects--which included the reversal of the Chicago River and raising the entire city from prairie mud to save it from devastating cholera epidemics. The saga of Chicago's unresolved struggle between order and freedom, growth and control, capitalism and community, remains instructive for our time, as we seek ways to build and maintain cities that retain their humanity without losing their energy. City of the Century throbs with the pulse of the great city it brilliantly brings to life.Binding Type: Paperback

Good introductory book on information security
Format: Paperback
As mentioned in my review title, this is a good introductory book on information security. I would like to stress the "introductory" part since anyone who is already in the field or otherwise highly technical should probably avoid this book. Otherwise, for anyone just starting out in information/cyber security or otherwise curious, this will be a nice easy intro into an interesting subject.

Buy the book.. You just can’t go wrong
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
So I’ve been telling everyone about what has given me this wonderful feeling.. Each morning I get up and just read! This book has took me on a wonderful spiritual journey. It’s as if Bishop was speaking directly to me. The things that I’ve been through throughout my life, at one point wouldn’t allow me to more forward. Without a trigger popping up out of nowhere.. Before buying this book. I was trying to deal with it and heal completely from my past. After all it was thirteen years ago. I wasn’t aware that I still had walls up! That I wasn’t sure how to push pass or knock down! I’m on page eighty eight as of today! If any of you are in need of a spiritual cleansing this most definitely is it! It’s help me in more ways than one🙌🏾..
