Inventive Minds
Six essays by artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky on how education can foster inventiveness, paired with commentary by Minsky's former colleagues and students. Marvin Minsky was a pioneering researcher in artificial intelligence whose work led to both theoretical and practical advances. His work was motivated not only by technological advancement but also by the desire to understand the workings of our own minds. Minsky's insights about the mind provide fresh perspectives on education and how children learn. This book collects for the first time six essays by Minsky on children, learning, and the potential of computers in school to enrich children's development. In these essays Min...
On to Java
Learn the exciting language for the World Wide Web This book is written in the clear and concise style that has made Winstons C, C++, Smalltalk, and Lisp books popular among programmers who want to add new languages to their repertoires. Using this book, you learn Java quickly and effectively, and you learn why Java is the language of choice for writing programs for the World Wide Web. The Knowledge You Need Each section add new capabilities to a short, yet representative Java program. One such program displays the rating of a movie selected by a user, along with a movie poster. Any World-Wide-Web browser can fetch and run the program, on your computer, in response to a button click. As you see the program evolve, you learn to *design class hierarchies * impose requirements using interfaces *follow the model-view approach to interface design *access applets from network viewers *use threads to implement dynamic applets and you learn to exploit the features of Java 1.2 to access files via resources * exploit swing classes * draw using the Graphics2D class * generate Java beans for GUI builders and much, much more. Winstons proven approach Based on extensive teaching experience Featu

Turtle Geometry
Turtle Geometry presents an innovative program of mathematical discovery that demonstrates how the effective use of personal computers can profoundly change the nature of a student's contact with mathematics. Using this book and a few simple computer programs, students can explore the properties of space by following an imaginary turtle across the screen. The concept of turtle geometry grew out of the Logo Group at MIT. Directed by Seymour Papert, author of Mindstorms, this group has done extensive work with preschool children, high school students and university undergraduates.
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War"
Were World Wars I and II inevitable? Were they necessary wars? Or were they products of calamitous failures of judgment? In this monumental and provocative history, Patrick Buchanan makes the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesmen– Winston Churchill first among them–the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communist tyranny might never have happened, and Europe’s central role in world affairs might have been sustained for many generations. Among the British and Churchillian errors were: • The ...
