Product Information
This history of the computer explores the roots of the industry's development, tracing not only the development of the machine itself--beginning with Charles Babbage's 1833 mechanical prototype--but also chronicling the effects of manufacturing and sales innovations by companies that made the boom possible.

"A welcome update to the classic text on the history of the computer-sure to extend its relevance to a new generation of students and scholars." -David Mindell, MIT, author of Digital Apollo: Human and Machine in Spaceflight "This authoritative yet accessible history of computing improves with each edition. This latest version provides enhanced coverage of recent developments such as the Internet, while sharpening and deepening its treatment of earlier events. A balanced, reliable account that holds interest for specialists and provides a ready entry into the topic for students, professionals, and general readers." -Steven W. Usselman, Georgia Institute of Technology "I strongly recommend to you the third edition of Computer ; it is simultaneously a thorough, accurate, and highly readable history of the evolution of the computer and its impact on all aspects of our society. I am an old guy, having written my first computer program over 50 years ago, and I have personally known many of the people mentioned in the book so I can attest to the accuracy of the events described." -Bill Wulf, University of Virginia Praise for Prior Editions: Terrific! This is the best general history of computing yet written, by two of the field's most prominent historians. Computer is comprehensive, engaging, and a pleasure to read. Aspray and Campbell-Kelley paint the big picture of the information revolution that is affecting all of our lives. - David A. Mindell, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and author of Between Human and Machine: Feedback, Control, and Computing Before Cybernetics Starting back when computers were people, computer historians Campbell-Kelly and Asprey meticulously trace the forces and personalities that gave birth to the computer age. From Babbage's failed analytical engine to mechanical calculators, IBM's room-sized mainframes, minis, Microsoft, and the Internet, their in-depth narrative gives us a peek inside the back rooms of early computer companies and into the lives of industry pioneers, both sung and unsung. - Thomas M. Georges, Author of Digital Soul, "This book is a splendid account of the history of computing machines. From Jacquard's punch card loom to today's Dick Tracy-like Internet connectors, the book provides a wealth of fascinating historical and technological information, especially for first-time readers. Highly recommended." -- Choice "A welcome update to the classic text on the history of the computer--sure to extend its relevance to a new generation of students and scholars." -- David Mindell, MIT, author of Digital Apollo: Human and Machine in Spaceflight "This authoritative yet accessible history of computing improves with each edition.

The item never arrived. Thank you for the no-hassle full refund of the cost of the item, plus shipping, plus taxes paid. The item was a smallish single book. I still wonder, though, why I was originally charged $12.99 for shipping and you then you ended up sending the item by USPS media mail. It seems that for the amount of postage paid that you could have sent the package with 2-3 day delivery with tracking which should have guaranteed timely delivery.
