Ceruzzi, Paul E.

A history of modern computing.

Cambridge , Mass . : MIT Press, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. Dustjacket. x,398 pp. : ill.,charts, map, ; 23 cm. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - From the first digital computer to the dot-com crash-a story of individuals, institutions, and the forces that led to a series of dramatic transformations. This engaging history covers modern computing from the development of the first electronic digital computer through the dot-com crash. The author concentrates on five key moments of transition: the transformation of the computer in the late 1940s from a specialized scientific instrument to a commercial product; the emergence of small systems in the late 1960s; the beginning of personal computing in the 1970s; the spread of networking after 1985; and, in a chapter written for this edition, the period 1995-2001. The new material focuses on the Microsoft antitrust suit, the rise and fall of the dot-coms, and the advent of open source software, particularly Linux. Within the chronological narrative, the book traces several overlapping threads: the evolution of the computer's internal design; the effect of economic trends and the Cold War; the long-term role of IBM as a player and as a target for upstart entrepreneurs; the growth of software from a hidden element to a major character in the story of computing; and the recurring issue of the place of information and computing in a democratic society. The focus is on the United States (though Europe and Japan enter the story at crucial points), on computing per se rather than on applications such as artificial intelligence, and on systems that were sold commercially and installed in quantities.

Computing in Russia: The History of Computer Devices and Information Technology Revealed

, Vieweg Verlagsgesellschaft, 2003. 3528057572, 352, Hardcover. Zustand: 2. General Computing The first compendium on the development of the computer in Russia to appear in the West A fascinating work of historical and cultural significance, Computing in Russia describes the history of Russian mechanical calculation devices. It focuses substantially on the first generations of military and civilian electronic computers, most of which were developed in the Soviet Union during the "Space-Race" and the Cold War, simultaneously with similarly fundamental developments in computing in the USA. The reader is introduced to computers and cybernetics from mathematical, technical, social and cultural perspectives through archive material and through texts by some of the pre-eminent veterans of Russian computing (historians, engineers, military historians). This alternative history and pre-history of information processing and of the computer ends with the adopting of the IBM standard and of Western technologies around 1970. In this book a critical part of Eastern European technological culture is (re-) discovered; at the same time, the reader is reminded of the alternatives to the Western hemisphere's concept of the computer, which are of decisive historical interest Synopsis A fascinating work of historical and cultural significance, Computing in Russia describes the history of Russian mechanical calculation devices.
