Computers are everywhere today--at work, in the bank, in artist's studios, sometimes even in our pockets--yet they remain to many of us objects of irreducible mystery. How can today's computers perform such a bewildering variety of tasks if computing is just glorified arithmetic? The answer, as Martin Davis lucidly illustrates, lies in the fact that computers are essentially engines of logic. Their hardware and software embody concepts developed over centuries by logicians such as Leibniz, Boole, and Godel, culminating in the amazing insights of Alan Turing. The Universal Computer traces the development of these concepts by exploring with captivating detail the lives and work of the geniuses who first formulated them. Readers will come away with a revelatory understanding of how and why computers work and how the algorithms within them came to be.Binding Type: Hardcover

So nice I bought more!
Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
As soon as I pulled these pillowcases out of the package I had to buy more! They are soft to the touch and feel cool. At $14.99 for a set of two, these are a great deal! I immediately ordered two more sets.
The pillow cases are made of a 90% Nylon 10% Spandex fabric. I typically only like 100% cotton, but these do a great job of staying cool. They do get a little warm after laying on the pillow for a while, but I'm a restless sleeper and move around a lot, so my pillow manages to stay cool.
The pillowcases are washable in the washing machine. They can be dried on low in the dryer.
