About this ebook

Twenty years ago the very first For Dummies book, DOS For Dummies, was published. From that first printing of that first book came a series unlike anything in the publishing world, one that is global in both geography - we have been published worldwide in some 30 languages - and in coverage. No single volume can hope to summarize what thousands of titles have meant to millions of readers over the years, and we don't claim to do that in this e-book. Rather, this e-book celebrates the breadth and depth of the For Dummies series, offering 20 chapters - in honor of our 20 years - from a list of books compiled by our global colleagues. We are confident the chapters we've included give you a representative glimpse at why - no matter what the topic - our products have meant so much to so many by Making Everything Easier. We've grouped our chapters into five main parts:

Part I: Dummies Classics, offers four chapters from some of our best-loved books. There's a chapter from DOS For Dummies, the book that started it all, and chapters from two of our best-sellers: Windows 7 For Dummies and Sex For Dummies. And just for a bit of spice, we've included a chapter from French For Dummies.

Part II: Daily Dose of Dummies, offers the kind of lifestyle, self-help, and business skills that our readers have come to treasure. There's one of our famous Part of Tens chapters from Cognititive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies and a chapter from Meditation For Dummies to help you get your center. Chapters from Leadership For Dummies and Marketing For Dummies help you develop new skills for the marketplace.

Part III, Fun with Dummies, celebrates life and all it has to offer. We've got chapters here from The Royal Wedding For Dummies, Guitar For Dummies, Digital Photography SLR All-in-One For Dummies, Puppies for Dummies, Knitting For Dummies, and Wine For Dummies.

Part IV, Get Social, highlights how we help you grow and develop new skills. Chapters here come from Facebook For Dummies, Social Media Marketing For Dummies, and Dating For Dummies.

Part V, Going Global, shares the worldwide appeal of the For Dummies series. These chapters from British History For Dummies, Canadian History For Dummies, and Rugby Union For Dummies were created by our global colleagues and authors and show how the For Dummies approach applies not only to whatever the subject is at hand, but also wherever the discussion is taking place.

Informative. It's the ADHD of self-improvement literature. Though not fully comprehensive (which is partly the point), like songs and music, this collection caters to the short attention span or the short of time. I believe this may be the way future info goes. None of the other reviewers knew as much about these topics beforehand. If they'd been PhD's, then why read it in the first place. Seriously. At least your reading a book and one that leaves you more knowledgeable than before. I liked it.

okay I knew that this was free and like anybody who uses Google play I knew that I would have to have a valid credit card on file, which I did! so all of you people who are complaining about the free part and not being able to download cuz of credit card grow up I think that's all I have to say about that. The book itself surprised me because it seems to be directed towards a French audience!? I found it very odd that it talked about conjugation of verbs and going to the theater I also did not realize that it would be talking about dossier programming language from over two decades ago so between the age of the publication and the fact that it's directed towards France or Europe I'm only giving it three stars because hey it's free and there is some interesting things in it. ***** I was trying to find a publication date I haven't found one yet but maybe this book isn't as old as I thought it's just that covered some really old issues and the part about the French I guess is actually a s
