Will Derry’s Book Recommendations eBook is where you can find your next favorite book. Hi, I’m Will Derry. I’ll be recommending books that I’ve read.

Book excerpt: Book Clubs are great!A Book Club serves many useful purposes: First, and most importantly, it gives you access to credible information on titles that you might be interested in reading, from people whose opinion you are likely to trust.Second, it is a great social tool: a way to meet and interact with people who share a very prominent interest with you - that of a shared respect for great works of literature.Finally, it also helps you populate your to-read list, and make sure that you always have a recommendation stored away in the back of your mind for a rainy day.However, in the times in which we live, physical Book Clubs are not always accessible. The Modern Day Book ClubsThis book fills the void; within its pages, you can find book recommendations of three kinds. If you are a casual reader, you might want to start with the chapters that are dedicated to popular literature, both fiction and non-fiction. If you are a more seasoned book aficionado, and are looking for some deep cuts, the chapters dedicated to obscure books are a great way to get started. Finally, the last chapter of this book is dedicated to wild card recommendations; you can dip into it at any time and discover a book that might be a critics' dream or an audience's pick, a mammoth volume filled with dense meaning and allegory, or a quick read that spent weeks and years on book lists everywhere, but that might not have scored as highly with critics as the others elsewhere on this list.In this volume, you are given fortnightly book recommendations to tide you through an entire year! Every book title comes with three important pieces of data: the name of the author, the year of publication, and an average reader rating (out of 100). These three are all you need to discover a potentially new great book; this is all about exploration.I've made sure to give you more book recommendations for a fortnight than you can possibly finish reading; this way, you can use this book reading list year after year, and become a true bibliophile.Each book listed here has a rating out of 100. This is tallied from millions of other reader ratings, and is an accurate assessment of how much you can expect to enjoy the book.Each fortnight's recommendation set has a fairly large number of books in it; depending on how much free time you have, you might choose to read 1-3 of those books.Two more pieces of information can help you shortlist the books you want to read in a given fortnight. First, I have added the suggested number of hours that I took to read each book in the list. This does not necessarily mean that a big number of hours corresponds to a really long book; I sometimes re-read a short book many times if it's really profound. Remember, your mileage may vary!Finally, for those of you that are into Numerology, I have added a metric on the Lucky Number associated with each book (I calculated that from the number of pages in my copy; it took forever!). If your lucky number matches with a book in the list, it might just be a sign from the heavens!Happy Reading!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Clubs are Very Important NowAs the world slowly lurches back to normal, book clubs may not yet have reopened in your country. This book will fill that void, at least till things are back to normal again!Welcome to your very own Virtual Book Club.We look for recommendations for music, restaurants, outfits...the list is endless. However, asking for book recommendations trumps all the others.A good book recommendation takes into account multiple factors: the time period in which a book is set is very important. The average rating of a book with other readers is almost as crucial - because the critics' rating doesn't always reflect entertainment value, which is a key thing that casual readers (most of us) look for.Book genres are, surprisingly, not very crucial to the process of discovering new authors and new pieces of literature.In this volume, you are given fortnightly book recommendations to tide you through an entire year! Every book title comes with three important pieces of data: the name of the author, the year of publication, and an average reader rating (out of 100). These three are all you need to discover a potentially new great book; this is all about exploration.I've made sure to give you more book recommendations for a fortnight than you can possibly finish reading; this way, you can use this book reading list year after year, and become a true bibliophile.Happy Reading!

Download or read book Recommender Systems Handbook written by Francesco Ricci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-21 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive growth of e-commerce and online environments has made the issue of information search and selection increasingly serious; users are overloaded by options to consider and they may not have the time or knowledge to personally evaluate these options. Recommender systems have proven to be a valuable way for online users to cope with the information overload and have become one of the most powerful and popular tools in electronic commerce. Correspondingly, various techniques for recommendation generation have been proposed. During the last decade, many of them have also been successfully deployed in commercial environments. Recommender Systems Handbook, an edited volume, is a multi-disciplinary effort that involves world-wide experts from diverse fields, such as artificial intelligence, human computer interaction, information technology, data mining, statistics, adaptive user interfaces, decision support systems, marketing, and consumer behavior. Theoreticians and practitioners from these fields continually seek techniques for more efficient, cost-effective and accurate recommender systems. This handbook aims to impose a degree of order on this diversity, by presenting a coherent and unified repository of recommender systems’ major concepts, theories, methodologies, trends, challenges and applications. Extensive artificial applications, a variety of real-world applications, and detailed case studies are included. Recommender Systems Handbook illustrates how this technology can support the user in decision-making, planning and purchasing processes. It works for well known corporations such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and AT&T. This handbook is suitable for researchers and advanced-level students in computer science as a reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Curation is the act of selecting, organizing, and presenting content most often guided by professional or expert knowledge. While many popular applications have attempted to emulate this process by turning users into curators, we put an accent on a recommendation system which can leverage multiple data sources to accomplish the curation task. We introduce QBook, a recommender that acts as a personal docent by identifying and suggesting books tailored to the various preferences of each individual user. The goal of the designed system is to address several limitations often associated with recommenders in order to provide diverse and personalized book recommendations that can foster trust, effectiveness of the system, and improve the decision making process. QBook considers multiple perspectives, from analyzing user reviews, user historical data, and items' metadata, to considering experts' reviews and constantly evolving users' preferences, to enhance the recommendation process, as well as quality and usability of the suggestions. QBook pairs each generated suggestion with an explanation that (i) showcases why a particular book was recommended and (ii) helps users decide which items, among the ones recommended, will best suit their individual interests. Empirical studies conducted using the Amazon/LibraryThing benchmark corpus demonstrate the correctness of the proposed methodology and QBook's ability to outperform baseline and state-of-the-art methodologies for book recommendations."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Colby Sharp In the decade since the first edition of Still Learning to Read was published, the prevalence of testing and the Common Core State Standards have changed what is expected of both teachers and students. The new edition of Still Learning to Read focuses on the needs of students in grades 3-6 in all aspects of reading workshop, including reading workshop, read-aloud, classroom design, digital tools, fiction, nonfiction, and close reading. The book stays true to its original beliefs of slowing down and knowing our readers, but it also takes into account the sense of urgency that changing times and standards impose on classrooms. This edition examines current trends in literacy, includes a new section on intentional instructional planning, and provides expanded examples of mini-lessons and routines that promote deeper thinking about learning. It also includes a brand new chapter on scaffolding for reading nonfiction and showcases the authors' latest thinking on close reading and text complexity. Online videos provide glimpses into classrooms as students make book choices, work in small groups, and discuss their reading notebooks. Expanded and updated book lists, recommendations for digital tools, lesson cycles, and sections specifically written for school leaders round out this foundational resource.
