Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. William Gladstone, King Edward VII of England, Winston Churchill - if the roll call of visitors to Warren House, one of the finest Victorian stately homes in the south of England, is impressive, then the wider cast of characters associated with the House and its owners is a veritable Who's Who of the political, cultural and social elite of their day. Owner George Cawston was an original board member of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company; Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Consort Alexandra received his successor Arthur Paget; while other denizens of Warren House inspired characters in the works of Edith Wharton and Henry James. This is a social tale of individual lives, enriched by the first-hand accounts of two former residents - nurse Lilian Philips who lived and worked at the House during the Second World War, and former Serbian refugee - now Canadian citizen - Bill Pazaratz. The fascinating text is enriched by beautiful illustrations of the House and its splendid gardens, past and present. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Cambridge Depicted features engravings of colleges and prominent religious and secular buildings taken from the book Cantabrigia Depicta first published in 1809. The 36 original black and white engravings have been restored and artistically coloured to create an elegant and lively book. Each institution has a brief up-to-date description of its history and its buildings, together with short but succinct biographies of some of the notable men and women associated with it. These embrace founders, scientists, martyrs, authors and poets, together with modern personalities from film, television, theatre and sport. The text of Cambridge Depicted includes the 14 colleges founded since the original work was published. The work is a unique tribute to Cambridge that extends from its distant origins to the present. It should be enjoyed by all those with a connection to Cambridge, whether past or present members of the University, residents of the City, or visitors. "Congratulations on this excellent book. I bought one when first available." - Sir John Bradfield, former Senior Bursar, Trinity College, Cambridge "I think the book is terrific - a really clever and informative way of 'depicting' Cambridge - I love the title" - Lord Broers, Vice Chancellor, 1996-2003. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardback. Jonathan Bate, Third Millennium Information. This richly illustrated hardback celebration of Worcester will include much fascinating new research into the history of the College, but it will offer far more than a tour through the archives. There will be sections on College life and College characters as well as our buildings and gardens, our books and pictures, our clubs and societies. Since it is the foundation as Worcester that we are remembering, the emphasis will be on more recent history - including such momentous events as the advent of women in 1979! - though there will of course be an account of our 'pre-history' as Gloucester College and Gloucester Hall, not to mention our brief interlude as the 'Greek College.' Lively reminiscences from those generations past and present will be included, along with memorabilia and vivid contemporary photography, to create a living portrait of Worcester which will be treasured by every Worcester alumnus and alumna. Hardback.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Cambridge Computing: The First 75 Years marks the 75th anniversary of the Computer Laboratory and the centenary of Professor Sir Maurice Wilkes who directed the laboratory for 35 years. It covers the 'halcyon' years of Roger Needham's reign and the expansionist eras of his successors, Robin Milner, Ian Leslie and Andy Hopper. The story begins with Charles Babbage and his 'magical machines' and includes Alan Turing, whose 'Universal Turing Machine' defined the theoretical basis of computability. The central theme of the book is the 75-year history of the Computer Laboratory. The 21st-century Computer Laboratory, housed in the striking William Gates Building, is internationally recognised today as a leading school of computer science, engaged in teaching and ground-breaking research and as a nursery for computer entrepreneurs. Groups of academics work on a wide diversity of topics: artificial intelligence, computer architecture, digital technology, graphics and interaction, natural language and information processing, programming, logic, and semantics, security and systems. "Cambridge Computing is designed to be an extensively illustrated, readable and informative account of computing in Cambridge from Babbage to the present day. I am confident that this book will appeal to a wide readership, well beyond Cambridge to everyone interested in the history of computing and the University of Cambridge." Andy Hopper, Professor of Computer Technology, Head of Department. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
