Book Description
(Bleacke Shifters book 6) [This story first appeared as part of the Summer Solstice Romance Collection Anthology. It has been revised and extensively expanded for re-release.] Impending fatherhood is doing more than ruffling Ken's fur… Being the "geek grazer" husband of a female Prime Alpha wolf who's also the Head Enforcer of her pack isn't the easiest gig in the world, but Ken's adjusting to his new life. The fact that his brothers-in-law are also the Pack Alpha and the pack's second in command doesn't exactly lower Ken's stress levels. Now that Dewi's pregnant with their first child, Ken's doing his best not to feel overwhelmed. Easier said than done. Except Ken's more at home with computers than Pack Musters and wolf politics. Unfortunately, now the Pack Alpha has tasked Ken with a nearly impossible assignment—trying to help the brothers and their mates keep baby-sister Dewi's surprise baby shower a secret.

Book Description
How big is your vocabulary? How heavy is your house? Do the dead outnumber the living? What are the best words to use in a personal ad? We humans are a curious species, prone to think, ruminate, reflect, cogitate, mull over, and philosophize. We long to explain away the world around us, to answer all those seeming unanswerables: Why are we here? Is there a God? Is there life after death? And, above all, how many houseflies does it take to pull a car? A confirmed and superior geek, Dr. Graham Tattersall has rescued math from the prison of the classroom and put it to use in novel and unexpected ways to explain some oft-pondered mysteries of the world. Geekspeak is an essential tool that will help you exercise your brain and solve the unsolvable, make you sound intelligent so you can impress your friends, and enable you to better understand the fascinating world in which we live in ways never possible before. Math has a new champion, and the geeks a new king.

The Software Arts
Author: Warren Sack
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262039702
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
An alternative history of software that places the liberal arts at the very center of software's evolution. In The Software Arts, Warren Sack offers an alternative history of computing that places the arts at the very center of software's evolution. Tracing the origins of software to eighteenth-century French encyclopedists' step-by-step descriptions of how things were made in the workshops of artists and artisans, Sack shows that programming languages are the offspring of an effort to describe the mechanical arts in the language of the liberal arts. Sack offers a reading of the texts of computing—code, algorithms, and technical papers—that emphasizes continuity between prose and programs. He translates concepts and categories from the liberal and mechanical arts—including logic, rhetoric, grammar, learning, algorithm, language, and simulation—into terms of computer science and then considers their further translation into popular culture, where they circulate as forms of digital life. He considers, among other topics, the “arithmetization” of knowledge that presaged digitization; today's multitude of logics; the history of demonstration, from deduction to newer forms of persuasion; and the post-Chomsky absence of meaning in grammar. With The Software Arts, Sack invites artists and humanists to see how their ideas are at the root of software and invites computer scientists to envision themselves as artists and humanists.
