Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Turing was a British mathematician and computer scientist who is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern computing. Born in 1912, Turing studied mathematics and logic at Cambridge University before beginning his groundbreaking work in the field of computer science. During World War II, Turing worked as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park, where he was instrumental in developing the machines and techniques that were used to crack German ciphers, including the Enigma machine. His work in cryptography is believed to have helped shorten the war and save countless lives. After the war, Turing continued his work in computing, and is credited with developing many of the fundamental concepts that are still used in modern computing today, including the Turing machine and the concept of artificial intelligence. He also made significant contributions to the field of mathematics, including his work on the foundations of computability and the theory of algorithms. Unfortunately, Turing's life was cut tragically short when he was convicted of homosexuality, which was then illegal in Britain. He was subjected to chemical castration and eventually took his own life in 1954 at the age of 41. Turing's contributions to computing and his tragic persecution have made him a symbol of both scientific innovation and the struggle for human rights. "Homosexual Mathematician Who Rescued the World Still Died In Disgrace: The Brutal Life And Tragic Death Of Alan Turing" is a book that provides an in-depth look at the life and legacy of the pioneering British mathematician and computer scientist, Alan Turing. This book explores Turing's groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, computer science, and cryptography, as well as his personal life and tragic death. The book covers Turing's early years, including his education and early work in mathematics and logic, as well as his groundbreaking contributions to computer science and artificial intelligence. It also delves into his work as a codebreaker during World War II, where his innovations in cryptography helped to crack the German Enigma machine and ultimately shorten the war. In addition to his professional accomplishments, the book also explores Turing's personal life, including his struggles with his sexuality in a time when homosexuality was illegal in Britain. It sheds light on the persecution he faced as a result of his sexuality, including his conviction for indecency and subsequent chemical castration, which many believe led to his tragic suicide at the age of 41. Overall, "Homosexual Mathematician Who Rescued the World Still Died In Disgrace: The Brutal Life And Tragic Death Of Alan Turing" is a fascinating and illuminating book that provides a comprehensive portrait of one of the most important figures in the history of computing and a tragic figure in the history of human rights.

Book excerpt: "Like a selfish gene or a parasite, the religion virus catches a free ride in the minds of our species, infecting our history and culture. What Guns, Germs and Steel did for anthropology, this book does for faith. It puts the pieces together into a fascinating, coherent model that makes sense! (Dan Barker, President, Freedom From Religion Foundation.) Craig A. James has written an accessible book on evolution and religion that manages to explain memetics while being both funny and touching. (Wes Unruh, author, The Art of Memetics, editor of alteratic.com.) Full of powerful, ground-breaking ideas, packaged in a deceptively simple, easy-reading style. James has created one of those rare books where, every few pages, I find myself thinking, "I need to send a copy of this to so-and-so." This is the most fun I've had reading non-fiction in a long time. (Phil Steele, Editor, Fragment and The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics)"--From Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: Where are we, sapiens, heading to? Where will our greed make us land? Do we rely on earth to sustain our life or Earth relies on us? Are we studying about space or probing it for next planet to prey on? Can our inheritors live peacefully? Are we destined to devastate earth? Nature’s best creation outsmarts her; let our best creations overpower us? Is there any room left for us to rethink and rectify? Why we left our mother earth in ache and aversion? Do we have any scope of survival yet? Or…? Remind peers! No deeds will be left uncounted by nature during the course of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence is everywhere – from the apps on our phones to the algorithms of search engines. Without us noticing, the AI revolution has arrived. But what does this mean for the world of design? The first volume in a two-book series, Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence introduces AI for designers and considers its positive potential for the future of architecture and design. Explaining what AI is and how it works, the book examines how different manifestations of AI will impact the discipline and profession of architecture. Highlighting current case-studies as well as near-future applications, it shows how AI is already being used as a powerful design tool, and how AI-driven information systems will soon transform the design of buildings and cities. Far-sighted, provocative and challenging, yet rooted in careful research and cautious speculation, this book, written by architect and theorist Neil Leach, is a must-read for all architects and designers – including students of architecture and all design professionals interested in keeping their practice at the cutting edge of technology.

Download or read book Alan Turing The Enigma written by Andrew Hodges and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The official book behind the Academy Award-winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades—all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing’s royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life. Capturing both the inner and outer drama of Turing’s life, Andrew Hodges tells how Turing’s revolutionary idea of 1936—the concept of a universal machine—laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing’s leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic account of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program—all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime. The inspiration for a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, Alan Turing: The Enigma is a gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution.
