Overcoming Poverty: A Journey to Success by Dr. Maurice Odine is an autobiography that details his colorful life from his beginnings in Africa to his attainment of his doctorate degree in America. In view of the fact that there are more have-nots in the world, this book serves a non-fiction global perspective on facing various challenges or drawbacks that people with very meager means encounter as they chart their way to success. Additionally, the book provides a useful foundation for individuals and organizations that may find it rewarding in their cause to help poor human beings in their struggle to overcome poverty in order to become successful. Above all, the book is intended to encourage less fortunate ones not to give up despite tortuous hurdles, but to be resilient in treading their journey to success.

About the Author

Originally from Cameroon, Dr. Odine’s community involvement includes socializing periodically through the organization of ex-students of my alma mater—Presbyterian Secondary School—and sundry activities organized by African and international entities. In keeping with academic and professional contribution in various intercultural communities, Dr. Odine has directed literacy communications programs through grantsmanship to benefit disadvantaged students and enabled African professors to participate in exchange programs with universities in the US. Special interests include scholarly research for publications and presentations at conferences, discovery and dissemination of new knowledge, plus serving as mentor to learners. Versed in multiculturalism, he is fluent in five languages and has worked in Cameroon, Haiti, Botswana, Lesotho, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait as professor and/or administrator.

From the creator of the Godot Recipes site!
Format: Paperback
Absolutely loved this, takes you through building 5 different games from start to finish, and explains not only how to do things, but it also explains the why! Throughout the course of making these 5 games, you also get introduced to many of the Nodes within Godot, explanations on how they are used, and gives you some experience using them! Feels good to add more tools into your toolkit as you become more familiar and comfortable using more Nodes. Even though this book is not intended for beginners, I would still recommend this book. It comes with a link where you can download example files and get going with minimal effort, however to get the most out of the book I would try to recreate stuff yourself. I found it very useful for easing myself into trying out 3D development. I've been doing 2D for years, and am currently developing a 2D game in Godot, once I complete that I'll be diving headfirst into 3D and this book gave me a lot of insight, and I feel much better about the whole process.

would have been better as a blog
Format: Paperback
First off, I have read over half of this book, but ultimately decided to put it down because it had a low signal-to-noise ratio. If the second half is filled with magic, I apologize in advance. What I liked: * The author is very honest. He does not shy away from discussing his failures (and successes). * The postmortem on the game "Life of Pixel" was especially good. * Interviews from various indie studios are sprinkled throughout. What I did not like: * A number of pieces of information were already out-of-date. This makes me think that the concepts should have been discussed at a higher level. For example, specifics about game engine costs are discussed. These numbers have changed since E3 of this year. Definitely recheck any information before formulating a plan based on the book's recommendations. * The indie studio interviews are a wasted opportunity in that they each interview has the same set of questions. It's like a questionnaire was sent out via email and the responses were pasted into the book. * When discussing commercial options, such as engines or other software packages, blurbs once again appear to be cut-and-pasted (this time verbatim from the package's web site). * Some of the advice is too broad and too light. For example, when writing about how to create a press release, the author discuss how to write in the active voice. I'm frankly not looking for writing tips in my Indie Game Developer Handbook. * The book is filled with tons of web links. My paperback copy was not so useful here. I ultimately left the book with the impression that the information would have been much better in the form of a blog. The author could have really gone in depth with the parts of the book that shined while keeping the surveys of topics in a form that serves them better (i.e. web links on the web).

Helpful information and Questions to consider
Format: Paperback
As a writer of science fiction and fantasy I had already looked into the physical aspects of the worlds I was creating, but I quickly realized I needed to include society and culture in the worldbuilding. I started a search for information, questionairres, or guidelines to use and found very little that would be helpful to me as a writer. Until I came across this book. It's exactly what I needed. It touches on multiple aspects of beliefs and practices and asks questions to help you think through what you want for your worlds, even if it's mostly backgroud. A very useful tool.
