Описание: CYBERNETICS, in its authoritative and final Second Edition, and at last available in a modern, highly-legible, and library-quality presentation - not a "facsimile edition" (photocopy) of the printing as are cheap recreations. Instead, the Quid Pro Books edition allows the reader to experience the best version of the work in a contemporary but affordable hardcover printing, not just as a facsimile or reprint knockoff. A quality, affordable ebook version of this classic work is also available from Quid Pro Books. - CYBERNETICS is on virtually everyone's short list of the most important and influential nonfiction books of the last century. First published by MIT mathematics professor Norbert Wiener in 1948, and later in its Second Edition in 1961, this groundbreaking account of systems, thought processes, AI, and the use of "feedback" foreshadowed intelligent and replicating machines, complex organizational organisms, and the physiology and failure of the human nervous system. Its 1961 Second Edition is the same version republished in many printed paperback editions since (such as the 1965 paperback printing by MIT Press), and represents the culmination of the author's work on this project. - No small wonder this has been widely read by scientists and lay readers alike, to understand the origins and future of computers, wider communication pathways, the use of feedback to refine actions and thought processes, and the logic and math behind non-linear systems. Educated readers know the term "cybernetics"; this book coined the term and created an entire field of interdisciplinary study that resonates today, and led to the "cyber"-everything that we know. - Norbert Wiener, known as the "Father of Cybernetics," has influenced such fields of study as game theory, system theory, sociology, psychology and neuroscience, modern philosophy, organizational theory, and even architecture.

Описание: Following the death of her husband, a Saxon Earl more than twice her age, a young Norman lady of noble birth is allowed to return to her home in France. But that journey is fraught with danger. Conspiracy, family secrets, stolen jewellery and a raid by Welsh brigands from across the border all conspire against her. Arrested and thrown into dungeon and then threatened with torture, she is made to stand trial for theft and murder. This is a medieval mystery of epic proportions, full of twists and turns, and culminating in the trial of Lady Adela Fitzgerald. But can the arrival of the king's royal falconer unravel the mysteries and prove the innocence of the Norman lady before it is too late? Can he save her from the gallows?

Описание: A classic and influential work that laid the theoretical foundations for information theory and a timely text for contemporary informations theorists and practitioners.
With the influential book Cybernetics, first published in 1948, Norbert Wiener laid the theoretical foundations for the multidisciplinary field of cybernetics, the study of controlling the flow of information in systems with feedback loops, be they biological, mechanical, cognitive, or social. At the core of Wiener's theory is the message (information), sent and responded to (feedback); the functionality of a machine, organism, or society depends on the quality of messages. Information corrupted by noise prevents homeostasis, or equilibrium. And yet Cybernetics is as philosophical as it is technical, with the first chapter devoted to Newtonian and Bergsonian time and the philosophical mixed with the technical throughout. This book brings the 1961 second edition back into print, with new forewords by Doug Hill and Sanjoy Mitter.
Contemporary readers of Cybernetics will marvel at Wiener's prescience--his warnings against "noise," his disdain for "hucksters" and "gadget worshipers," and his view of the mass media as the single greatest anti-homeostatic force in society. This edition of Cybernetics gives a new generation access to a classic text.

Описание: The 2014 BOV Art Exhibition is a retrospective of the art of veteran artist Anthony Mahoney. His choice of works aims to take his audience through the various stages experienced throughout his artistic career; his media and style evolving with time yet still retaining his signature eloquence in each of his pieces. The contrast between light and darkness takes us through the arcane depths of his imagination and the interaction between the artist's creative side and his spirituality. Mahoney is one of those artists whose life, style, and execution interweave amicably in a work of total integrity. The struggle for art and the struggle for life overlap and integrate into one. Mahoney gives all he knows and feels. The struggle between paint and canvas reflects the wrestling of light and dark, hope and despair, something and nothing. Life has not been easy for Mahoney. Perhaps life never is. As a man of faith Mahoney takes his faith seriously, and knows that every day it has to be renewed, with every word, with every deed, with every dab of paint on canvas.
