We are living in the era of digital transformation. Computers are rapidly becoming the most important tool for companies, science, society, and indeed our everyday life. We all need a basic understanding of Computer Science to make sense of the world, to make decisions, and to improve our lives. Yet there are many misunderstandings about Computer Science. The reason is that it is a nascent discipline that has evolved rapidly and had to reinvent itself several times over the last 100 years – from the beginnings of scientific computing to the modern era of smartphones and the cloud. This book gives an intuitive introduction to the foundations and main concepts of Computer Science. It describ...
This book attempts to introduce students to the major events that make up the story of the French Revolution and to the different ways in which historians have interpreted them. It covers the relationship between France and the United States.
Hayek Book Prize Finalist An Economist Best Book of the Year A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year From one of the world’s leading economists and his coauthors, a cutting-edge analysis of what drives economic growth and a blueprint for prosperity under capitalism.

Technology is so ubiquitous and such an integral part of our lives and our culture that we take it for granted. Indeed, technological advancement is bringing wonderful enhancements to our lives in the form of productivity, ease, comfort, convenience, and fun. But technology is always changing. So where will we be in ten years? Will technology result in a utopian society, or will the picture be much bleaker and darker? Here is the ugly truth: this rapid, exponential growth of IT will soon bring massive, even cataclysmic, social disruption and upheaval. In many fields of employment, IT is taking humans out of the equation and making us obsolete. Entire job classifications and industries will s...
This work offers an introduction to software engineering for students in undergraduate courses in computing at university or college level, defining it as the body of knowledge and practical techniques that can be brought to bear on the process of developing software. This includes all types of software - commercial applications, programs, scientific and engineering programs and systems software (for example, compilers, operating systems and database management systems). Design of the ACM curriculum and provides coverage of newer programming paradigms. It is also intended for the use of practising workers in the software industry. high-level language; a little knowledge of data structures; one or two years programming experience; and (preferably) involvement in at least one moderate-sized project. object-oriented design and parallel programming, as all of these have become increasingly important and, in the case of parallel programming, all-pervasive, in recent times and for the foreseeable future.
