How did humanity move from counting stones and mechanical calculators to computers that can generate text, images, and ideas?The Thinking Machine traces the long history of computing, from ancient instruments and early algorithms to artificial intelligence. Along the way, it explores the people, discoveries, and machines that shaped this story: Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, the first electronic computers, the rise of programming, personal computers, the internet, and today's generative AI.The book also brings Italy's contribution into focus, from Olivetti and the ELEA to the development of computer science in Pisa. Rather than reducing progress to a series of lone geniuses or inevitable breakthroughs, it connects technical change to the wider ideas and societies that made it possible.Written for curious readers, students, and technology enthusiasts, this is an accessible guide to the history of computing—and to the questions its next chapter raises.

The Sustainability Conundrum Balancing Energy Transition and Global Development


The Sustainability Conundrum: Balancing Energy Transition and Global Development
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1041144806 | 146 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 19.16 MB
The Sustainability Conundrum: Balancing Energy Transition and Global Developmentinvestigates how a clean environment and mitigation of Global Climate Change will affect the UN's sustainability goals for development, poverty elimination, and inequality reduction. The book covers the necessity of energy use for humans, the global demand and the supply of energy, and the environmental challenges of energy consumption.Outlining the interconnections between four of the UN goals, the book discusses the Global Climate Change problem by explaining how the scientific community eradicated other global environmental threats, such as acid rain, lead contamination, and the ozone hole. It establishes the uniqueness of Global Climate Change; evaluates proposed methods and "roadmaps" to achieve meaningful carbon dioxide emissions reductions; computes the cost of the necessary infrastructure for their implementation on a regional and a global scale; and draws conclusions about the implementation of the proposed energy transition and the sustainability goals for the elimination of poverty and reduction of inequalities within and among nations.This book is intended for students of sustainability initiatives and any readers interested in the ongoing challenges surrounding sustainability and global economic development.
