Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta colección cuenta con grandes nombres de la literatura, pero rescata también a maestros del género menos reconocidos. El resultado es una deliciosa oda a lo escalofriante y a lo extraño. Llega el invierno, las noches son más largas. Hay quienes se reúnen bajo el muérdago con sus familiares y amigos; otros abogan por la abolición del espíritu navideño bajo el lema «Prohibir la Navidad o Morir». Entre las páginas de esta colección de relatos acechan fantasmas y casas encantadas, pero también problemas cotidianos mucho más reconocibles y no menos aterradores. Y todos ellos tienen una cosa en común: el frío. Ese frío que nos recorre la columna al abrir la ventana una tarde de invierno, ya sea porque ahí fuera sopla una brisa helada o porque? ¿Quién sabe qué se esconde en esa oscuridad? CRÍTICA «Estos cuentos extraños son la lectura navideña perfecta, llena de visitantes inquietantes y espíritus amantes de la fiesta. » ?Christopher Hart, The Times «Es una verdadera delicia leer la obra de los maestros de lo extraño del pasado. » ?Oddly Weird Fiction *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Family man Jake Harding loves his job as director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida; he practices regular 'what if' scenarios with his wife all the time. One fateful day at work, however, events transpire that Harding could never have predicted.Despite being confronted by a mysterious stranger who lurks in his office and an even stranger phone call from the Secretary of Commerce, Harding attempts to go about his daily routine. But it is not long before Harding is alerted that a mass of dry, dusty air is forming over the Sahara Desert. Suddenly, three hurricanes form-two of which spin backwards, defying all known laws of physics. In the midst of a desperate race against time to warn others of the impending disaster, Harding calls upon hurricane center retiree Lester Philester for help. After being cautioned to be careful around the mysterious stranger, Harding is mystified when the hurricanes split off in three different directions.As Texas, Florida, and Maryland brace for the worst, two men and an outsider with a secret past work feverishly to stop a massive natural disaster. Only time will tell if their efforts will be successful.

First Editions of Both Parts, and Extremely Rare, with OCLC recording only 6 copies of Part 1 and one of part 2. The National Physical Laboratory's ACE (Automatic Computing Engine) was designed by Alan Turing, who began working on the project a few months before he joined the NPL's mathematics division on October 1, 1945. Construction of the ACE began with a "test assembly" to try out Turing's ideas of computer design; after Turing's departure from the NPL in September 1947, the project was taken over by his assistants, James H. Wilkinson and Michael Woodger. Wilkinson's 1948 report (no. [1]) is one of the earliest documents on the ACE and contains probably the most detailed description of the work done to date in building the test assembly. The numerous programs published in this report include some of the earliest surviving examples of Turing's programming for the machine. In 1949 the NPL issued a second report on the ACE written by Stanley Gill, titled Automatic Computing Engine: Progress Report No. 2, Description of Hollerith Input and Output for the Pilot Model (not included here). In the same year the original ACE test assembly was abandoned and a redesigned simpler version began construction; this simplified version, described in Wilkinson's 1951 report (no. [2]), came to be known as the Pilot ACE. Wilkinson's introduction to the 1951 report noted this change in the design process: "In an earlier Progress Report [i.e., no. (1) above] the logical designs of two machines were described, the first a small machine referred to as a Pilot model, the second a large scale machine referred to as the Automatic Comput ing Engine (A.C.E.). The machine which is the subject of this [1951] report is roughly equivalent to the pilot model described in [the 1948 report], but it differs sufficiently in detail to make it more convenient to give a self-contained description of its logical design rather than summarise its points of difference (p. 1)." The 1951 report is subtitled "Part II" but we have found no evidence of a "Part I," and it seems clear from Wilkinson's introduction that the 1951 report was meant to serve as the second part of the 1948 report. OCLC records only one copy of the 1951 report, at the University of Illinois; the catalogue description incorrectly gives the pagination as 127 leaves, perhaps confusing it with the 1948 report. Despite its prototype status the Pilot ACE was immediately pressed into service on its completion, as it was then the only computer in a British government department. It remained in operation until 1956. Origins of Cyberspace 933. Yates, Turing's Legacy: A History of Computing at the National Physical Laboratory 1945-1995, 337, no. 138. Origins of Cyberspace 933.

Wilkinson, James Hardy (1919-86). An assessment of the system of optimum coding used on the pilot Automatic Computing Engine at the National Physical Laboratory. Offprint from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Series A: Mathematical and physical sciences, 248 (1955). 253-281pp. Text diagrams. 302 x 236 mm. Original printed wrappers, label partly removed from front wrapper, ownership signature in upper corner of front wrapper. Fine. Bookplate of Erwin Tomash. First Edition, Offprint Issue. The National Physical Laboratory's ACE (Automatic Computing Engine) was designed by Alan Turing, who began working on the project a few months before he joined the NPL's mathematics division on October 1, 1945. Construction of the ACE began with a "test assembly" to try out Turing's ideas of computer design; after Turing's departure from the NPL in September 1947, this project was taken over by his assistants, James H. Wilkinson and Michael Woodger. In early 1949 the original ACE test assembly was abandoned and a new version, redesigned to make the electronics as simple as possible, began construction in early 1949. This machine, completed in 1950, came to be known as the "Pilot ACE." The Pilot ACE, although intended as a prototype, was immediately pressed into service, as it was then the only computer in a British government department. It remained in operation until 1956, undergoing several modifications during its lifetime. The present report "describes the system of optimum coding which is used on the Pilot ACE . . . It includes a number of simple examples of programs prepared for the machine and gives an assessment of the gain in speed which results from the use of optimum coding in general. It concludes with a description of the design of the full-scale ACE which takes full advantage of the general principles embodied in the design of the Pilot ACE" (p. 253). .
