Computer Sciences

Here is an attractive, readable set designed to present the history of computers and reflect on their purpose, use, and impact today. Nearly 300 entries are organized into four volumes, usually with black-and-white illustrations, photos, or charts. Signed entries are two to four pages long and often include sidebars, definitions for terms or concepts, see also references, and bibliographies with a handful of current sources, many of them online. University professors are among the contributors. Repeated at the beginning of each volume are the preface, tables of measurements, time lines, and table of contents. Each volume concludes with the same glossary and topic outline and a volume index, with a cumulative index at the end of volume 4.

Volume 1 (Foundations: Ideas and People) covers history;
volume 2 (Software and Hardware), the nuts and bolts of the technology;
volume 3 (Social Applications), how computers affect our everyday lives; and
volume 4 (Electronic Universe), the networked society.
