Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No DJ issued. 1st Paperback Edition. Second Printing. [12], 587, [1] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Cover repaired with tape. Cover and spine edges worn, some creasing and scratches to covers. Despite his leading role in breaking the secret German Enigma co…de during World War II, and his later role in the development of the modern computer, Alan Turing never attained the recognition he deserved in his lifetime. Andrew Philip Hodges (born 1949) is a British mathematician, author and emeritus senior research fellow at Wadham College, Oxford. Hodges was Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of London in 1975. Hodges is best known as the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma. The book was critically acclaimed when it was published, with Donald Michie in New Scientist calling it "marvelous and faithful". In June 2002, it was chosen for inclusion in a list of 50 'essential' books in The Guardian. The book became the film The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing. Derived from a Kirkus review: The conflicted life of "an ordinary English homosexual atheist mathematician": Alan Turing (1912-1954), of cryptanalysis and computer fame. From his own mathematics and gay-rights background, Hedges reconstructs Turing's discoveries and his dilemma in a kind of dynamic tension--seeing Turing, with considerable subtlety, as an intellectual and sexual individualist. In describing Turing's mathematical coups at Cambridge in the 1930s, and his work on the Enigma machine at Bletchley Park, Hedges deals matter-of-factly with abstract concepts and technical detail. The pages are populated, not just for color, with the likes of von Neumann, Wittgenstein, and Michael Polanyi. But there is also an acute sense of the surrounding, changing world--and, cumulatively, some striking formulations. Turing publicly announces, in 1947, that no line separates the "unconscious automatic machine" and the "higher realms of the intellect." The personal story is feelingful and restrained. Turing's first, great love died at 19; his "gentle advances" were often rebuffed, without ill-feeling; he made no secret of his "tendencies," except to his family; he was once engaged (to a woman undaunted by those tendencies); by the 1950s, he was part of England's "network of flashing eyes." And in 1952, rashly reporting a burglary involving a young lover, he was charged with "gross indecency"; pleaded guilty--evincing no guilt; and accepted organo-hormone treatment in lieu of prison. In 1954, seemingly himself, he committed suicide. Sophisticated and nuanced.

Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. First Printing thus. xvii, [3], 587, [1] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Author's Note. Notes. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Foreword by Douglas Hostadter. New Preface. Andrew Hodges (born 1949) is a British mathematician and author. Hodges is best known as the author of Alan Turing:… The Enigma, the story of the British computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing. Critically acclaimed at the time - Donald Michie in New Scientist called it "marvellous and faithful" - the book was chosen by Michael Holroyd as part of a list of 50 'essential' books in The Guardian, 1 June 2002. Alan Turing: The Enigma formed the basis of Hugh Whitemore's 1986 stageplay Breaking the Code, which was adapted by for Television in 1996, with Derek Jacobi as Turing. The book was later made into the 2014 film The Imitation Game directed by Morten Tyldum, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing. The script for The Imitation Game won Graham Moore an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 87th Academy Awards in 2015. Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954) was a pioneering English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, and cryptanalyst. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. He led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised techniques for breaking German ciphers, including an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. It has been estimated that this work shortened the war in Europe by up to four years and saved over fourteen million lives. After the war ,at Max Newman's Computing Machine Laboratory; he helped develop the Manchester computers.

Trade paperback. Zustand: fair to good. 1st Paperback Edition. First Printing. [12], 587, [1] pages, wraps, illus., Author's Note, notes, index. Cover has some where and soiling. Andrew Hodges (born 1949) is a British mathematician and author. Hodges was born in London. Since the early 1970s, Hodges has worked on twistor theory,… which is the approach to the problems of fundamental physics pioneered by Roger Penrose. Hodges is best known as the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma, the story of the British computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing. Critically acclaimed at the time â" Donald Michie in New Scientist called it "marvellous and faithful" â" the book was chosen by Michael Holroyd as part of a list of 50 'essential' books in The Guardian, 1 June 2002.

The script for The Imitation Game won Graham Moore an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 87th Academy Awards in 2015. Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954) was a pioneering English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers, including improvements to the pre-war Polish bombe method, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. Turing played a pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic; it has been estimated that this work shortened the war in Europe by as many as four years and saved over fourteen million lives. After the war, he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he designed the ACE, among the first designs for a stored-program computer. In 1948 Turing joined Max Newman's Computing Machine Laboratory at the Victoria University of Manchester, where he helped develop the Manchester computers and became interested in mathematical biology. Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, when such behavior was still a criminal act in the UK. He accepted treatment with DES (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. Turing died in 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death as suicide, but it has been noted that the known evidence is equally consistent with accidental poisoning. In 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for "the appalling way he was treated." Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon in 2013.
