Book excerpt: Biography of Howard Aiken, a major figure of the early digital era, by a major historian of science who was also a colleague of Aiken's at Harvard. Howard Hathaway Aiken (1900-1973) was a major figure of the early digital era. He is best known for his first machine, the IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator or Harvard Mark I, conceived in 1937 and put into operation in 1944. But he also made significant contributions to the development of applications for the new machines and to the creation of a university curriculum for computer science. This biography of Aiken, by a major historian of science who was also a colleague of Aiken's at Harvard, offers a clear and often entertaining introduction to Aiken and his times. Aiken's Mark I was the most intensely used of the early large-scale, general-purpose automatic digital computers, and it had a significant impact on the machines that followed. Aiken also proselytized for the computer among scientists, scholars, and businesspeople and explored novel applications in data processing, automatic billing, and production control. But his most lasting contribution may have been the students who received degrees under him and then took prominent positions in academia and industry. I. Bernard Cohen argues convincingly for Aiken's significance as a shaper of the computer world in which we now live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portrait of a Pioneer When I first heard of Dr. Dean, three things im pressed me especially. His brave and colorful char acter; his magnificent work for the Manning; and the tragedy of his repudiation by a narrow-minded minority. Basing my story on these, I have attempted an outline of the life of one of Australia's most gifted pioneers, each maior episode being founded on fact, but colored, where necessary, by a poet's imagin ation, for I {realise that I am more of a poet than a novelist, as some of my advisers have so kindly pointed out. There are, therefore, a number of gaps in my narrative, while a number of imaginary charac ters mingle with the many who actually walked this earth in the shadow of the Colossus of the Manning. Certain unrecorded facts, indeed, have only reached me since the text went to press. Dr. Dean's adventurous life was even more exciting than I realised. He fought a duel, and changed his name, events which would have made my early chapters more stimulating had I known them sooner. In South Africa he bravely met the same official setbacks which later clouded his closing years on the Manning. However, to have dealt with these earlier misfortunes would have spoilt the balance of the book as I planned it. Again, certain lighter sides of the good Doctor's life escaped me. I am indebted, for instance, to a. Correspondent Who informs me that as an Editor Horace Dean was human enough to make an occa sional slip. As, when a meeting was held on a night so stormy that the Doctor was unable to attend. He knew the speakers and what they intended to say, so faithfully reported the meeting in the next issue of his newspaper. Unfortunately, the night was so wet that the meeting was cancelled. So the thoughtful Doctor reported a meeting that had never taken place! In forgiving such a human error, I hope that my readers will extend similar charity to my own shortcomings as a novelist.

Book Synopsis Nannie Helen Burroughs by : Nannie Helen Burroughs
Download or read book Nannie Helen Burroughs written by Nannie Helen Burroughs and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the writings of Nannie Helen Burroughs, an educator, civil rights activist, and leading voice in the African American community during the first half of the twentieth century. Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879–1961) is just one of the many African American intellectuals whose work has long been excluded from the literary canon. In her time, Burroughs was a celebrated African American (or, in her era, a "race woman") female activist, educator, and intellectual. This book represents a landmark contribution to the African American intellectual historical project by allowing readers to experience Burroughs in her own words. This anthology of her works written between 1900 and 1959 encapsulates Burroughs's work as a theologian, philosopher, activist, educator, intellectual, and evangelist, as well as the myriad of ways that her career resisted definition. Burroughs rubbed elbows with such African American historical icons as W. E. B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Church Terrell, and Mary McLeod Bethune, and these interactions represent much of the existing, easily available literature on Burroughs's life. This book aims to spark a conversation surrounding Burroughs's life and work by making available her own tracts on God, sin, the intersections of church and society, black womanhood, education, and social justice. Moreover, the volume is an important piece of the growing movement toward excavating African American intellectual and philosophical thought and reformulating the literary canon to bring a diverse array of voices to the table.
