Bauer, Craig P.

Unsolved! : the history and mystery of the world's greatest ciphers from ancient Egypt to online secret societies / Craig P. Bauer

Princeton : Princeton University Press, [2017]

Abstract: In 1953, a man was found dead from cyanide poisoning near the Philadelphia airport with a picture of a Nazi aircraft in his wallet. Taped to his abdomen was an enciphered message. In 1912, a book dealer named Wilfrid Voynich came into possession of an illuminated cipher manuscript once belonging to Emperor Rudolf II, who was obsessed with alchemy and the occult. Wartime codebreakers tried--and failed--to unlock the book's secrets, and it remains an enigma to this day. In this lively and entertaining book, Craig Bauer examines these and other vexing ciphers yet to be cracked. Some may reveal the identity of a spy or serial killer, provide the location of buried treasure, or expose a secret society--while others may be elaborate hoaxes. Unsolved! begins by explaining the basics of cryptology, and then explores the history behind an array of unsolved ciphers. It looks at ancient ciphers, ciphers created by artists and composers, ciphers left by killers and victims, Cold War ciphers, and many others. Some are infamous, like the ciphers in the Zodiac letters, while others were created purely as intellectual challenges by figures such as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman. Bauer lays out the evidence surrounding each cipher, describes the efforts of geniuses and eccentrics--in some cases both--to decipher it, and invites readers to try their hand at puzzles that have stymied so many others. Unsolved! takes readers from the ancient world to the digital age, providing an amazing tour of many of history's greatest unsolved ciphers"

The library beyond the book / Jeffrey T. Schnapp, Matthew Battles

Cambridge : Harvard University Press, 2014

Abstract: Jeffrey Schnapp and Matthew Battles reflect on what libraries have been in order to speculate about what they will become: hybrid places that intermingle books and ebooks, analog and digital formats, paper and pixels. They combine the cultural history of libraries with innovations at metaLAB, a research group at the forefront of digital humanities

La storia dell'architettura / Patrick Nuttgens

New York : Phaidon, 2006

Abstract: Nel corso della storia, la creazione e la modellezione dell'ambiente costruito hanno avuto un ruolo di primo piano negli sforzi dell'umanità. La storia dell'architettura è il resoconto di come uomini e donne di ingegno e immaginazione siano partiti dai più elementari bisogni dell'uomo trasformandoli in alcune tra le più grandiose manifestazioni dello spirito umano. La storia è raccontata in una narrazione chiara e fluida che copre il mondo intero e l'intera storia umana in una sequenza di ventuno capitoli, ciascuno dei quali traccia il diagramma di uno specifico periodo dello sviluppo dell'architettura. Il libro risulta così suddiviso in altrettante naturali unità di studio corredate da oltre 400 illustrazioni e disegni architettonici in puntuale riferimento al testo. Quest'opera costituisce un'introduzione per quanti hanno incontrato il patrimonio architettonico mondiale attraverso i loro viaggi o i mezzi di comunicazione, e desiderano approfondirne l'esplorazione. Presentando un chiaro e autorevole affresco dei fatti architettonici, il libro conduce allo stesso tempo un'affascinante indagine tra le funzioni degli edifici e le ragioni della loro infinita varietà formale. Senza utilizzare un linguaggio tecnico, l'autore attinge alla sua stessa esperienza d'architetto per indurre il lettore a entrare nella mente del progettista, ponendosi sempre l'obiettivo di rispondere alla domanda: perché è così?
