The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing's leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.Ī gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution, Andrew Hodges's acclaimed book captures both the inner and outer drama of Turing's life.Hodges tells how Turing's revolutionary idea of 1936-the concept of a universal machine-laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades-all before his suicide at age forty-one.

With a background in seasonal kitchens - including Nancy Silverton’s Campanile, where she trained, and Cooks County, which she ran - Jullapat arrived at baking with whole grains naturally. “Once you allow yourself the permission to think of these grains as ingredients rather than tools - things that add flavour and personality rather than things that do mechanical (jobs) in your baking - then it’s really easy and fun to get creative,” says Jullapat. (Whole-grain flours are a perishable product containing germ, endosperm and bran refined flours, on the other hand, are all endosperm, extending their shelf life.) Whole-grain flours - including barley, buckwheat and rye - are becoming more readily available, making it an exciting time to be a baker.
