The Maisky Diaries
Summary
The terror and purges of Stalin's Russia in the 1930s discouraged Soviet officials from leaving documentary records, let alone keeping personal diaries. A remarkable exception is the unique diary assiduously kept by Ivan Maisky, the Soviet ambassador to London between 1932 and 1943. This selection from Maisky's diary grippingly documents Britain's drift to war during the 1930s, appeasement in the Munich era, negotiations leading to the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, Churchill's rise to power, the German invasion of Russia, and the intense debate over the opening of the second front. Maisky was distinguished by his great sociability and access to the key players in British public life. Among his range of regular contacts were politicians, press barons, ambassadors, intellectuals, writers, and indeed royalty. His diary further reveals the role personal rivalries within the Kremlin played in the formulation of Soviet policy at the time. Scrupulously edited and checked against a vast range of Russian and Western archival evidence, this extraordinary narrative diary offers a fascinating revision of the events surrounding the Second World War.

Arduino Programming
Summary
Have you ever wondered how to get started in the world of microcontrollers? Check out Arduino now. It is an open-source platform ideal for all DIY enthusiasts, including robot builders. This audiobook is meant to serve as a basis for learning Arduino programming. It aims at giving beginners a simple, interesting, and guided introduction to the Arduino and its programming. The book focuses on practical tasks, tipsm and tricks, with a theoretical introduction to advanced Arduino. What can I do with Arduino? As a beginner in the world of Arduino, surely you've wondered the same thing. The truth is that it is a very difficult question to answer, as there are numerous projects you can do with this microcontroller. We can give examples that will help you understand the functions and utilities of the device. Examples of projects you can easily develop after listening to this book include: Mobile robots (e.g., line follower) Home automation devices (e.g., automatic blinds) Everyday devices (e.g., alarm clock) Games (e.g., arcade game machine) A multitude of other projects; the sky is the limit The book is divided into four chapters (with a possible continuation). Of course, it doesn't cover everything there is to know about Arduino because the subject is so extensive that you can write a dozen books about it. In this book, you will learn how to signal information via LEDs and to transmit text on display. You'll learn about Arduino's communication with your computer, how to control motors, and about sensors and their use. You’ll also receives tips along the way that will help you prevent errors. By combining the above resources, you will be able to build a device that collects environmental information (sensors), process it, act on it (motors), and communicate with the user (diodes, display, computer). Is this book right for me? If you are interested in electronics and would like to start developing your own projects, Arduino is the perfect solution for beginners, and this audiobook will guide you in programming your Arduino devices, step by step, with code.

Arduino Programming
Summary
Arduino is a versatile and incredibly useful tool in many professional and technical fields. Educational facilities are putting more emphasis on Arduino than ever before because of its effectiveness, practicality, usability, and convenience that it provides to users. If you are one of those people who wish to explore the world of Arduino and fortify your pre-existing concepts with even more advanced techniques, then look no further. Many books in the market discussing Arduino tends to focus on one particular aspect, i.e., practical implementation or coding. However, this book creates harmony between these two elements, so that the listener gets the best of both worlds. Everything that you will learn about coding or handling Arduino hardware and every concept is not only comprehensively explained but demonstrated in Arduino projects as well. Since Arduino is even used in highly technical fields such as mechatronics and medicine, this book aims to bring the bar a bit lower and provide the listener with concepts and knowledge geared more toward Arduino's general use. Here are a few key features of this book: Easy-to-understand explanations of advanced concepts without using excessive jargon Emphasis on practical Arduino projects and advanced coding techniques Carefully structured chapters. The position of each chapter builds upon the discussion and concepts highlighted in the preceding chapters Techniques for efficient memory-handling Concepts of advanced Arduino software and hardware-handling Implementing the coding techniques discussed in this book to create Arduino projects Concepts are grouped into their respective chapters for easier learning and reference If you’re interested in learning to implement advanced strategies for Arduino programing, then grab your copy to get start today!

Arduino Programming
Summary
Programming was once considered an activity reserved for some people of above-average talent and intelligence, elected by the gods of mathematics. This vision is changing, and the activity of programming is becoming more and more present, especially after the explosion of the Internet in general and the internet of things (IoT). This is largely thanks to programmable devices like Arduino, which offer us a development platform that makes programming so easy that even those who never thought they could do so can succeed. And the purpose of this book (The Realms of Arduino Programming) is precisely to open the door by introducing in a didactic way this powerful programming tool that is, at once, useful, beautiful, fun, and powerful. This book is part of a series of Arduino, and the study is done gradually, in increasing order of complexity. The first book focuses on presenting Arduino as a concept and development platform, teaching you how to install and test the system. It shows the basic components used for prototyping, gives a detailed description of the IDE features, and explains the concepts needed to understand the process of programming, as well as transferring the program from the programming environment to Arduino memory, concluding with a hands-on experiment using a protoboard and a led. The text is written in simple language to make it accessible, and every effort has been made to clarify the concepts indispensable for perfect understanding of the process of programming a microcontroller, making it useful to the widest possible audience and thus preparing the foundation that serves as a starting point for further study and the basis for what will follow in the other two volumes that continue the series.

Cisco CCNA Command Guide
Summary
The market is full of books that claim to have a magic formula to educate you on the concepts of Cisco CCNA. They write long descriptions and praise their own ability to summarize a sea in a teacup. I do not have tall claims to make. I do not claim that this book will change your life overnight. I do not claim that this book will make you learn and digest the entire study material in a week. A diamond takes time to be what we see in the markets. Fruit takes time to ripen before we can eat it. In the same manner, this book will run its course of time before you are fully prepared for the exam. The Cisco CCNA certification is not easy. You will have to sweat and burn your blood before you can learn the commands to get ready for the exam. I have made sure that the book encompasses all the possible topics you might be looking out for. This book will give you details on all the topics in a comprehensive and easy-to-digest manner. The book contains the following topics among others. A detailed overview of Cisco Devices Commands for the configuration of routers Networking concepts Routing concepts Deciphering RIP, EIGRP, and IGRP Open Shortest Path Protocol (OSPF) Configuration of Switch
