The Years of Rice and Salt
Author: Kim Stanley Robinson
Publisher: Spectra
ISBN: 0553897608
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 777
Book Description
With the same unique vision that brought his now classic Mars trilogy to vivid life, bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson boldly imagines an alternate history of the last seven hundred years. In his grandest work yet, the acclaimed storyteller constructs a world vastly different from the one we know. . . . “A thoughtful, magisterial alternate history from one of science fiction’s most important writers.”—The New York Times Book Review It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur—the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe’s population was destroyed. But what if the plague had killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been—one that stretches across centuries, sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, and spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation. Through the eyes of soldiers and kings, explorers and philosophers, slaves and scholars, Robinson navigates a world where Buddhism and Islam are the most influential and practiced religions, while Christianity is merely a historical footnote. Probing the most profound questions as only he can, Robinson shines his extraordinary light on the place of religion, culture, power—and even love—in this bold New World. “Exceptional and engrossing.”—New York Post “Ambitious . . . ingenious.”—Newsday

Thinking as Computation
Author: Hector J. Levesque
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262300648
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Students explore the idea that thinking is a form of computation by learning to write simple computer programs for tasks that require thought. This book guides students through an exploration of the idea that thinking might be understood as a form of computation. Students make the connection between thinking and computing by learning to write computer programs for a variety of tasks that require thought, including solving puzzles, understanding natural language, recognizing objects in visual scenes, planning courses of action, and playing strategic games. The material is presented with minimal technicalities and is accessible to undergraduate students with no specialized knowledge or technical background beyond high school mathematics. Students use Prolog (without having to learn algorithms: “Prolog without tears!”), learning to express what they need as a Prolog program and letting Prolog search for answers. After an introduction to the basic concepts, Thinking as Computation offers three chapters on Prolog, covering back-chaining, programs and queries, and how to write the sorts of Prolog programs used in the book. The book follows this with case studies of tasks that appear to require thought, then looks beyond Prolog to consider learning, explaining, and propositional reasoning. Most of the chapters conclude with short bibliographic notes and exercises. The book is based on a popular course at the University of Toronto and can be used in a variety of classroom contexts, by students ranging from first-year liberal arts undergraduates to more technically advanced computer science students.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Whether you are a complete beginner or have already acquired some solving skills, this book will be extremely helpful. For beginners it explains what Sudoku is, and deals fully with the basic solving techniques. For solvers already able to complete puzzles graded as Easy or Moderate, but who find themselves up against a brick wall when faced with more difficult puzzles, the book describes and demonstrates a selected range of techniques which will enable them to go further and solve all the puzzles likely to be encountered in newspapers or puzzle books, from Easy through Hard and Very Hard to Diabolical. There are 84 pages to explain the mysteries of scanning, matching pairs, twins, triplets and quads, pointing and claiming, the use of rectangles and other 4-sided figures, X-wings and X-Y wings, swordfish, jellyfish, turbot fish, and chains and loops. These explanatory pages are followed by 30 graded puzzles, ranging from Easy to Diabolical, with which to test the techniques described in the book. A novel feature is that the puzzles come with fully reasoned solutions and detailed explanations which, by taking you through all the logical steps, show exactly how each puzzle was solved and what solving techniques were used to do so. These provide in themselves a valuable aid to mastering the techniques..
