Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Computers and their origins have a fascination both for scholars and for ordinary readers, but much of the existing literature on the history of computing is too specialized to interest the general reader. This collection is broad in scope, offering an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the history of computing. It gives an overview of two centuries in the history of information processing and detailed coverage of a number of more recent topics, including PC software, user interfaces, and the Internet. By integrating the technical, business, and policy aspects of the history of computing, the authors explain how and why computers were created, and how they were shaped by the intent of their creators. All of the contributors are experts in their fields, writing clearly and avoiding jargon to make this book accessible to a wide range of general readers, students, historians and computer professionals. As new, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NF3.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. A comprehensive and fascinating account of electrical and electronics history Much of the infrastructure of today's industrialized world arose in the period from the outbreak of World War I to the conclusion of World War II. It was during these years that the capabilities of traditional electrical engineering-generators, power transmission, motors, electric lighting and heating, home appliances, and so on-became ubiquitous. Even more importantly, it was during this time that a new type of electrical engineering-electronics-emerged. Because of its applications in communications (both wire-based and wireless), entertainment (notably radio, the phonograph, and sound movies), industry, science and medicine, and the military, the electronics industry became a major part of the economy. Dawn of the Electronic Age?explores how this engineering knowledge and its main applications developed in various scientific, economic, and social contexts, and explains how each was profoundly affected by electrical technologies. It takes an international perspective and a narrative approach, unfolding the story chronologically. Though a scholarly study (with sources of information given in endnotes for engineers and historians of science and technology), the book is intended for the general public.?Ultimately, it tells the story of the development of a new realm of engineering and its widespread applications during the remarkable and tragic period of two world wars and the decades in between.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This bibliography was compiled by Frederik Nebeker, Mellon Fellow in Bibliography for 1988-89, who unearthed a wealth of material in the manuscript collections and archives of the APS documenting the life and work of 181 American scientists in the fields of astronomy and the 'geophysical tradition.' In addition to concise characterizations of the nature of the documents, Dr. Nebeker has added brief biographies of each scientist, a comprehensive list of all scientists working in astronomy and the geophysical tradition, and an index to specific areas of study. This bibliography will be of interest to anyone working on the development of American science and its European roots during the 19th century.…
