The complex network of creative forces and social pressures that have produced the computer is personified here in the creators of instruments of computation, and their machines or tables; the inventors of mathematical or logical concepts and their applications; and the fabricators of practical devices to serve the immediate needs of government, commerce, engineering, and science. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is based on an exhibition conceived and assembled for International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation. Like the exhibition, it is not a history in the narrow sense of a chronology of concepts and devices. Yet these pages actually display more true history (in relation to the computer) than many more conventional presentations of the development of science and technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Eames,Ray Eames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674156269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674156265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 8.76w x 0.50d","brand":"Charles Eames","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447757353215,"sku":"9780674156265","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9bd89308-9eff-4385-9850-b980b94945a5.jpg?v=1777234601","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-computer-perspective-charles-eames-9780674156265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
