"From the tiniest gadget to vast scientific simulators, computers are integral to our lives, and are developing at ever-increasing speed.

Highly illustrated, the book brings home the rapid reduction in computer size and growth in capacity, and its vast range of uses. From colossus to the iPad -- this book tells the whole extraordinary story." -- Back cover.

Made by Hand
"It's not merely good, it's foundation-shaking." -Seth Godin From his unique vantage point as editor-in-chief of Make magazine, the hub of the do-it-yourself movement, Mark Frauenfelder takes readers on an inspiring and surprising tour of the vibrant world of DIY. Frauenfelder spent a year trying a variety of offbeat projects such as keeping chickens and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen science with his daughters in the garage. His whole family found that DIY helped them take control of their lives, offering deeply satisfying alternatives for spending time together. Working with their hands and minds helped them feel more engaged with the world around them. Frauenfelder also profiles fascinating "alpha makers" leading various DIY movements and grills them for their best tips and insights. He offers a unique perspective on how earning a few calluses can be far more rewarding than another trip to the mall.
