Woman of Color, Daughter of Privilege tells the story of Amanda Dickson, daughter of a wealthy plantation owner in rural Georgia and one of his slaves. Amanda was much loved by her father and amazingly went on to inherit most of his estate upon his death despite the strict racial segregation and discrimination of the era. Obviously, this situation was unique for its time. The book is very well-written,very informative and provides a good glimpse into the life of a privileged woman in a strictly segregated society. Highly recommended

I first saw the movie, A House Divided and searched out and found out that there was a book. I read the book and i recommend this book for everyone to read. It is a good book. If you haven't seen the movie. SEE IT! the author that wrote this book should be commended. He did a very good job. I am about to write a paper for my history class on this book. Linda D.

Yep the shelves are full of C and C++ books. It is not that one is better than the next. It is that sometimes it is good to have a book tell you what you already know in a different way. Then you can say "Oh, that's why it is done that way!" This is one of those books.

This is a hands-on step-by-step book to get you started.

This bookhas taught me alot , thanks to les hancock and morris krieger for making this book comprehendable to new c programmers like. I especially enjoyed their second edition of c primer. I hope some authors will have the idea on how to present their learning style just like what mr. hancock and mr. krieger did !

I have found this book to be a rather good means of acquiring knowledge on many aspects of C programming. It provides a simple yet effective means of explaining various topics in C programming to the reader, using anecdotes and so forth. It might not be as extensive or as long as some other books, and cover all of the topics, but instead provides to the point explanations on the the more prominent topics which helps the reader understand concepts quickly. This book can be a good way to assist in ones learning C, I used it in conjuction with a much larger and more drawn out book, when I don't understand something I often turn to this book which provides a look at the subject from a slightly different perspective. I recommend this book, to be used in conjuction with another book such as Stephen Kochan's excellent and recommended Programming in ANSI C, but unfortunatly the C Primer is out of print.
