This book tells the story of the birth of the computing industry via the origins of 25 influential computers built between 1939 and 1960Starting with a short, sharp history of how we got to where we were on the eve of the second world war, this book illuminates humanity''s desire for calculation aids throughout history, and how that led to the ready reckoner, Napier''s bones, Pascal''s calculator, the difference engine, the analytical engine, the comptometer and Herman Hollerieth''s electronic tabulating machine.This book is a world tour through the modern history of computing, and it begins in 1939 with the first electronic digital computer, the Atanasoff-Berry computer (ABC).

William Gibson upírá pohled do budoucnosti už desítky let od chvíle, kdy vymyslel pojem „kyberprostor“ a pak ho začátkem 80. let zpopularizoval ve svém klasickém spekulativním románu Neuromancer. Cory Doctorow nadšeně hlásil, že Médium je „velkolepé dílo, ukázka trefné spekulace o vzdálené budoucnosti okořeněná vizuálními efekty Neuromancera“. Teď se Gibson vrací s Působností, sci-fi thrillerem výrazně ovlivněným současným děním.Verity Jane, nadaná appkoznalkyně, se nechá najmout na betatestování nového výrobku, digitální asistentky, k níž se připojuje přes zdánlivě obyčejné brýle. Neodolatelně lidská UI v brýlích – „Eunice“ – má svou vlastní tvář, útržkovitou minulost a suverénní přehled o bojové strategii. Jakmile Verity pochopí, že její tajnůstkářští noví zaměstnavatelé ještě nemají ponětí o Eunicině skutečné moci a hodnotě, automaticky dojde k závěru, že je to tak lepší.Sto let nato v Londýně, na úplně jiné časové ose, Wilf Netherton pracuje mezi plutokraty a pleniteli, přeživšími pozvolné, leč jisté apokylapsy známé pod přezdívkou jackpot. Jeho nadřízená, záhadná Ainsley Lowbeerová, umí nahlížet do alternativních minulostí a nenápadně ovlivňovat jejich vývoj. Verity a Eunice jsou její nynější projekt.Wilf vnímá něco, co Verity a Eunice vnímat nemohou – jejich vlastní verzi jackpotu číhající hned za rohem a úlohy, které v ní obě mohou sehrát.

On the night of 19/20 September 1944, a force of 227 Avro Lancasters and ten de Havilland Mosquitoes was despatched to attack the German towns of Mönchengladbach and Rheydt. The Master Bomber for the raid was none other than Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson VC, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar. Along with his navigator, Squadron Leader James Warwick DFC, Gibson was flying Mosquito KB627 of 627 Squadron from RAF Coningsby, where he was serving as the Base Operations Officer. By this stage of the Second World War, Gibson was arguably one of the most famous of all the Allied aviators. Aged just 26, few in the country, if not across the Allied world as a whole, would not have heard his name or seen a picture of his face. It was his leadership of the daring Dambusters Raid, Operation Chastise, in May 1944 that firmly propelled him into the public’s eye – and ultimately led to his award of the Victoria Cross. Gibson need not have been flying that fateful night.

Is sexual identity biologically determined or a product of social convention? In this brilliant and provocative classic, the distinguished feminist scholar Anne Fausto-Sterling argues that even the most fundamental knowledge about sex and gender is shaped by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced. Drawing on illuminating real-life cases and a probing analysis of centuries of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists have historically politicized the body. In lively and impassioned prose, she breaks down three key dualisms -- sex/gender, nature/nurture, and real/constructed -- and asserts that intersex and other non-binary individuals should not be forced to fit flawed societal definitions of normality.Now with a new preface and final chapter considering the many scientific and political developments of the last two decades, Sexing the Body is an indispensable and revolutionary look at how biology, society, and history together determine sexual difference.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURED DIRECTED BY AND STARRING CHIWETEL EJIOFOR – AVAILABLE ON NETFLIXWhen William Kamkwamba was just 14 years old, his family told him that he must leave school and come home to work on the farm – they could no longer afford his fees. This is his story of how he found a way to make a difference, how he bought light to his family and village, and hope to his nation.Malawi is a country battling AIDS, drought and famine, and in 2002, a season of floods, followed by the most severe famine in fifty years, brought it to its knees. Like the majority of the population, William''s family were farmers. They were totally reliant on the maize crop. By the end of 2001, after many lean and difficult years, there was no more crop. They were running out of food – had nothing to sell – and had months until they would be able to harvest their crop again.Forced to leave school at 14 years old, with no hope of raising the funds to go again, William resorted to borrowing books from the small local library to continue his education. One day, browsing the titles, he ... Unknown localization key: "more"

?William Gibson’s Neuromancer: A Critical Companion presents Gibson’s rise as an influential figure within and beyond the science fiction field. Gibson’s success with Neuromancer, the first novel to win the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and Philip K. Dick Award, is in part a direct result of the rising popularity of cyberpunk in the early- to mid-1980s, although it could just as easily be said cyberpunk’s success was in no small part a direct result of Neuromancer’s explosion onto the science fiction scene. Neuromancer’s ongoing relevance remains undiminished because we are effectively living in a technocultural age that is increasingly difficult to distinguish from Gibson’s novel. As Graham J. Murphy demonstrates in this companion, the novel remains instrumental in thinking through the ongoing explorations of the posthuman:transhumanism, the Utopia/Anti-Utopia dynamic, and capitalist realism, to name a few of themore significant critical vehicles with which to better understand and contextualize our technocultural age and Neuromancer’s role in both shaping it and responding to it. This book provides a critical introduction to Neuromancer and cyberpunk culture.

Take control of your life and create profound change today using NLP and the science of positive changeNeurolinguistic Programming is a process for understanding what makes people tick. When we understand how people think, feel, and act in key situations, we have the raw material with which to make change happen, often quickly and profoundly.In the 1970s, linguists studied the language patterns and nonverbal cues of great psychotherapists, as well as social influence within communities, in order to pinpoint what enables human beings to change. Their findings formed the basis of NLP, which has since been used to teach therapists and life coaches how to master one-on-one interactions.When a lawyer named Greg Prosmushkin discovered NLP, he realized that what he learned – how to communicate with confidence, model excellence, and influence your own and others’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—were incredibly valuable outside a therapy context. He used what he learned to make huge breakthroughs in his trials and to step into his own as an entrepreneur. When he met Josh Davis, a PhD who studied psychology and neuroscience and NLP expert, they realized that they needed to make NLP easily available for everyone. To do so, they show how the ...

In this landmark book, Scott Page redefines the way we understand ourselves in relation to one another. The Difference is about how we think in groups—and how our collective wisdom exceeds the sum of its parts. Why can teams of people find better solutions than brilliant individuals working alone? And why are the best group decisions and predictions those that draw upon the very qualities that make each of us unique? The answers lie in diversity—not what we look like outside, but what we look like within, our distinct tools and abilities. The Difference reveals that progress and innovation may depend less on lone thinkers with enormous IQs than on diverse people working together and capitalizing on their individuality. Page shows how groups that display a range of perspectives outperform groups of like-minded experts. Diversity yields superior outcomes, and Page proves it using his own cutting-edge research. Moving beyond the politics that cloud standard debates about diversity, he explains why difference beats out homogeneity, whether you're talking about citizens in a democracy or scientists in the laboratory. He examines practical ways to apply diversity's logic to a host of problems, and along the way offers fascinating and surprising examples, from ... Unknown localization key: "more"
