Stories of ghostly happenings have been circulating at the Hotel del Coronado for many years, all thought to be related to the death of a beautiful young woman, Kate Morgan, who stayed at the hotel in November 1892. Hotel guests, employees, and even paranormal researchers have attested to some supernatural occurrences at The Del. Witnesses report flickering lights, televisions that turn on and off by themselves, dramatic shifts in room temperatures, odd scents, unexplained voices, the sound of strange footsteps, mysterious breezes which cause curtains to billow when windows are closed, and objects which move of their own accord; still others claim to have seen the ghost of Kate Morgan herself. Kate Morgan, a pretty woman in her mid 20s, checked into the Hotel del Coronado alone on Thursday, November 24, 1892 (Thanksgiving evening). During her stay, hotel employees – many of whom had frequent interactions with Kate – reported that she had appeared ill and very unhappy. She had al

The Spirit Within Saint Junipero approaches Saint Junípero from a unique perspective, the sense of place, by presenting close and detailed views of the places that formed Junípero Serra, the places where he worked as a professor, a priest, and a missionary, and the places whose foundation was animated by his vision. By reflecting upon these places, the reader will be in able to approach this man in a fresh way. Craig Alan Huber first began photographing the California Missions in 2008, and as he learned more of the Franciscans and contributions of Fray Serra in particular, he decided to make sojourns to both Mallorca and Mexico as well, to photograph the important places Serra played a pivotal role in. During his dedicated pilgrimages to these spiritual sites, he sought and often felt a life force flowing through them. This unseen energy has a Spirit. It is this Spirit Within he reveals through his work. The images presented in this book are from Mr. Huber's pilgrimages to thirty-seven sites where Serra had an impact. Twenty-three sites are in Alta California, where Junípero directly founded the first nine Missions and set the stage for the remainder. Seven locations are in Mexico, where he established five Missions in the remote Sierra Gorda mountains, and played significant roles in two Franciscan colegios San Fernando in Mexico City, and Santa Cruz in Queretaro. Finally, there are seven locations on the island of Mallorca where Josep Miguel Serra was born and eventually became a Franciscan just shy of his eighteenth birthday. For the entire book, photographer Craig Alan Huber was faithful to what some term today as 'old school' photography, working with a large format film view camera, the same style used by Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and other iconic photographers. Seven years since its inception, he is ready to present this work in comprehensive form.

"You could get addicted to this series. Easily." *The New York Times Book Review1793 *In the seas of revolution . . .A farmer, a bloody farmer!

There, an outnumbered coalition of former enemies is being drawn into a terrible land-sea battle against the revolutionary French *in a siege of blood and terror that will send shock waves around the world. . . .He's fought and loved on land and bounding sea from America to the East Indies.

'In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.' So is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century, yet Alan Turing's name was not widely recognised until his contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code became public in the 1970s. The story of Turing's life fascinates and in the years since his suicide, Turing's reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have become better appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing's birth, this republication of his mother's biography is enriched by a new foreword by Martin Davis and a never-before-published memoir by Alan's older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the original biography reveals tensions and sheds new light on Turing's relationship with his family, and on the man himself.

Programming Legend Charles Petzold unlocks the secrets of the extraordinary and prescient 1936 paper by Alan M. Turing Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of computability theory in the process, a foundation of present-day computer programming. The book expands Turing’s original 36-page paper with additional background chapters and extensive annotations; the author elaborates on and clarifies many of Turing’s statements, making the original difficult-to-read document accessible to present day programmers, computer science majors, math geeks, and others. Interwoven into the narrative are the highlights of Turing’s own life: his years at Cambridge and Princeton, his secret work in cryptanalysis during World War II, his involvement in seminal computer projects, his speculations about artificial intelligence, his arrest and prosecution for the crime of "gross indecency," and his early death by apparent suicide at the age of 41.

The collected works of Turing, including a substantial amount of unpublished material, will comprise four volumes: Mechanical Intelligence, Pure Mathematics, Morphogenesis and Mathematical Logic. Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) was a brilliant man who made major contributions in several areas of science. Today his name is mentioned frequently in philosophical discussions about the nature of Artificial Intelligence. Actually, he was a pioneer researcher in computer architecture and software engineering; his work in pure mathematics and mathematical logic extended considerably further and his last work, on morphogenesis in plants, is also acknowledged as being of the greatest originality and of permanent importance. He was one of the leading figures in Twentieth-century science, a fact which would have been known to the general public sooner but for the British Official Secrets Act, which prevented discussion of his wartime work. What is maybe surprising about these papers is that although they were written decades ago, they address major issues which concern researchers today.
