Practical and example-driven, this is a hands-on introduction to Kotlin that emphasizes readable code, safety features, and how to make Kotlin interoperate with existing Java projects. Chapters pair short explanations with runnable samples, notes about IDEs and build tools, and concrete advice for calling Java from Kotlin. What works best is teaching usable Kotlin patterns you can drop into a JVM codebase; the main limitation is a steady Java orientation and tooling detail that will feel dense if you wanted a lightweight, purely idiomatic language tour.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
