Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The collected works of Turing, including a substantial amount of unpublished material, will comprise four volumes: Mechanical Intelligence, Pure Mathematics, Morphogenesis and Mathematical Logic. Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) was a brilliant man who made major contributions in several areas of science. Today his name is mentioned frequently in philosophical discussions about the nature of Artificial Intelligence. Actually, he was a pioneer researcher in computer architecture and software engineering; his work in pure mathematics and mathematical logic extended considerably further and his last work, on morphogenesis in plants, is also acknowledged as being of the greatest originality and of permanent importance. He was one of the leading figures in Twentieth-century science, a fact which would have been known to the general public sooner but for the British Official Secrets Act, which prevented discussion of his wartime work. What is maybe surprising about these papers is that although they were written decades ago, they address major issues which concern researchers today.…

Hard covers. Zustand: V.g. No Jacket. reprint of 1913 edition. Originally issued in paper covers, but rebound in navy cloth. Weight: 1 Language: English.

80 plates of which two on stained glass are coloured, 64pp, 10pp publishers catalogue (this dated 1837) 30x23, boards, pasted on spine label. Covered rather rubbed, with small hole on front edge of spine, foxing and damp marks on most plates, text less affected, edges of pages a little rubbed, binding cracking in a few places. Important Gothic revival source book, with its fine accurate measured drawings, reissued in the 1870s in an edition edited by Spiers. Editor's Introduction explains why Nattali had felt in necessary to issue the essays separately to the engravings (to avoid the "arbitrary and oppressive" requirement to lodge no few than eleven copies of each book in public libraries, something that was prohibitive for heavily illustrated books like this); readers were then encouraged to reassemble their separate purchases. The date on the catalogue suggest that this copy was probably bound by the publisher in around 1837. …

He was the superintendent of the SF Mint in 1897 and in 1907 was named director of the US mints in Washington DC. Superintendent of S.F. Mint; 1897 - 1907; Director of the Mint, Washingon D.C. 1907.After 1914 he managed the People's Water Co. of Oakland. .OBITUARY From the OAKLAND TRIBUNE, Thursday Evening, June 20 1929.Funeral services for Frank A. Leach, California pioneer newspaper publisher and political figure, who died yesterday at the age of 82 years, will be held tomorrow from the Masonic cathedral, Fifteenth and Madison Streets.The services will be conducted by Naval lodge, No. 87 of Vallejo, with which Leach had been affiliated for 58 years. Following the service, which will start at 3 P. M., Burial will take place at Mountain View cemetery.Leach died at Merritt hospital yesterday morning after a sudden breakdown in health two months ago.For more than a half-century he was a prominent figure in California. Born in Auburn, N. Y., of a pioneer American family, he was brought to California as an infant by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Leach. The family lived successively in San Francisco, Sacramento, Napa, Vallejo, and Oakland.Leach attended private school in Sacramento until the first public school was opened there and completed his education at the age of 17 in Napa. He became an apprentice printer and there gained the experience which enabled him to found first the Napa Daily Reporter, then the Vallejo Chronicle and finally with A. B. Nye and W. F. Burbank the Oakland Enquirer.Named To Legislature.His political career was launched in Vallejo in 1879 when he was elected to the state legislature as representative for Solano County. He served two terms and from 1882 to 1884 was postmaster of Vallejo.In 1897 he was appointed by President McKinley as superintendent of the mint in San Francisco and held that position for 10 years.During the fire which struck San Francisco in 1906, Leach achieved national recognition by providing an emergency financial system for the stricken city. The mint was the only financial institution which remained intact and bank officials turned to Leach for aid. He recommended that, through their eastern credits, they secure telegraphic transfer of funds by United States treasury orders on the San Francisco mint and use such funds in establishing a temporary central bank representing all the banks of the city.Local bankers supplied tellers and bookkeepers and the emergency financial institution was established in the mint and performed invaluable in restoring order out of the chaos of disaster.Named Fund Treasurer.When the magnitude of the disaster became known in Washington, Leach was asked to report on the situation and recommend relief measure to the treasury Department. He suggested free telegraphic transfer of funds from the east, payable in orders on the mint. President Roosevelt named Leach treasurer and through the system he received and disbursed more than $40,000,000 in 6 weeks' time without a single loss.Leach's work following the disaster is credited with having influenced his appointment, in 1907, as director-general of United States mints with headquarters in Washington, a post he held until 1909.He resigned then to become president and manager of the People's Water Company of Oakland, serving in that capacity until October 1911 when he retired. In July 1912, however, he was called out of retirement to again become Superintendent of the San Francisco mint following the death of Judge Sweeney. He resigned in August 1913.Survivi. …
