The Computer And the Brainby John Von NeumannISBN 0300024150 (0-300-02415-0)
Softcover, Yale Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Computer And the Brain'Book summary:Whether they think it's impossible or inevitable, most people have highly polarised views on artificial intelligence. John von Neumann, genius, mathematician and inventor of the nearly ubiquitous computer architecture bearing his name, blazed trails for both camps in The Computer and the Brain.
This short book, originally written for Yale's Silliman lectures but published posthumously, summarises his views on machine and biological intelligence with unprecedented clarity and precision. His understanding of neuroscience was that of a brilliant and strongly motivated amateur at the end of the 1950s, good enough to take on the problem but by no means matching his comprehension of the machines to which he had devoted much of his professional life. Still, his take on intracranial computation is stunningly prescient--he looks beyond the then-fashionable digital metaphors to suggest a semi-analogue strategy that uses parallel processing to make up for its deficiency in speed.
Prominent neuroscientific thinkers Paul M. Churchland and Patricia S. Churchland provide a brief, enlightening foreword to the second edition, placing the author's thinking in context and grounding the reader in the scientific milieu that gave rise to The Computer and the Brain. Though his computer architecture is slowly growing obsolete, von Neumann has given us a more lasting legacy in his thinking about thinking. --Rob Lightner [via]

Softcover, Yale Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Reading Japanese'Book summary:"Reading Japanese" is a pedagogical text - not a handbook or dictionary - prepared for the specific purpose of introducing adult foreigners, in particular English speakers, to the Japanese written language, to enable them to begin to learn to read. Since it is a pedagogical text, it presents information in an ordered fashion. Each increment of new material presupposes mastery of what has gone before, but only of what has gone before. Adult foreigners and native-Japanese children approach the study of Japanese reading with vastly different backgrounds and in vastly different settings. It is dangerous to assume that the same methodology will work for both groups, even though their goals are similar. In spite of the limitations of their Japanese facility, foreign students studying the Japanese written language want to learn to read, not to decode with constant dependence on dictionaries and vocabulary lists. And they want to become accustomed to working with Japanese writing that has not been specifically altered for foreign consumption, since their ultimate goal is to read native Japanese publications. This book, through its particular format and organization of the text, is aimed at achieving this stated goal as rapidly and efficiently as possible. [From the Introduction] [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Rosa: The Life of an Italian Immigrant'Book summary:This is the life story of Rosa Cavalleri, an Italian woman who came to the United States in 1884, one of the peak years in the nineteenth-century wave of immigration. A vivid, richly detailed account, the narrative traces Rosas life in an Italian peasant village and later in Chicago. Marie Hall Ets, a social worker and friend of Rosas at the Chicago Commons settlement house during the years following World War I, meticulously wrote down her lively stories to create this book.
[via]
Rosa was born in a silk-making village in Lombardy, a major source of north Italian emigration; she first set foot in the United States at the Castle Garden immigrant depot on the tip of Manhattan. Her life in this country was hard and Ets chronicles it in eloquent detailRosa endures a marriage at sixteen to an abusive older man, an unwilling migration to a Missouri mining town, and the unassisted birth of a child, and manages to escape from a husband who tried to force her into prostitution. Rosas exuberant personality, remarkable spirit, and ability as a storyteller distinguish this book, a unique contribution to the annals of U.S. immigration.More editions of Rosa: The Life of an Italian Immigrant:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Vampire: A Casebook'Book summary:Vampires are the most fearsome and fascinating of all creatures of folklore. For the first time, detailed accounts of the vampire and how its tradition developed in different cultures are gathered in one volume by eminent folklorist Alan Dundes. Eleven leading scholars from the fields of Slavic studies, history, anthropology, and psychiatry unearth the true nature of the vampire from its birth in graveyard lore to the modern-day psychiatric patient with a penchant for drinking blood.
[via]
The Vampire: A Casebook takes this legend out of the realm of literature and film and back to its dark beginnings in folk traditions. The essays examine the history of the word vampire; Romanian vampires; Greek vampires; Serbian vampires; the physical attributes of vampires; the killing of vampires; and the possible psychoanalytic underpinnings of vampires. Much more than simply a scary creature of the human imagination, the vampire has been and continues to haunt the lives of all those who encounter itin reality or in fiction. -

› Find signed collectible books: 'Way to Wisdom, an Introduction to Philosophy;'Book summary:One of the founders of existentialism, Karl Jaspers presents for the general reader a lucid summary of his great philosophical works. He believes that the heart of all philosophical thinking is the quest for "true Being" and that "the man who attains true awareness of his freedom gains certainty of God." In Jasper's view a man's philosophy, like the life process itself, must undergo a continuous change as a result of the development and needs of the individual and the crises he must experience. In "Way to Wisdom" he gives a brilliant and exciting introduction to an understanding of philosophy and offers the serious reader an approach to a deeper understanding. [via]

Women and Men on the Overland Trailby John MacK FaragherISBN 0300026056 (0-300-02605-6)
Softcover, Yale Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Women and Men on the Overland Trail'Book summary:This classic book offers a lively and penetrating analysis of what the overland journey was really like for midwestern farm families in the mid-1800s. Through the subtle use of contemporary diaries, memoirs, and even folk songs, John Mack Faragher dispels the common stereotypes of male and female roles and reveals the dynamic of pioneer family relationships. This edition includes a new preface in which Faragher looks back on the social context in which he formulated his original thesis and provides a new supplemental bibliography.[via]
Praise for the earlier edition:
Faragher has made excellent use of the Overland Trail materials, using them to illuminate the society the emigrants left as well as the one they constructed en route. His study should be important to a wide range of readers, especially those interested in family history, migration and western history, and womens history. Kathryn Kish Sklar
An enlightening study. American West
A helpful study which not only illuminates the daily life of rural Americans but which also begins to compensate for the male orientation of so much of western history. Journal of Social HistoryMore editions of Women and Men on the Overland Trail:
