Tom Siegfried was editor in chief of Science News from 2007 to 2012, and he was the managing editor from 2014 to 2017. In addition to Science News, his work has appeared in Science, Nature, Astronomy, New Scientist and Smithsonian. Previously he was the science editor of The Dallas Morning News. He is the author of three books: The Bit and the Pendulum; Strange Matters; and A Beautiful Math. Tom earned an undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University and has a master of arts with a major in journalism and a minor in physics from the University of Texas at Austin. His awards include the American Geophysical Union's Robert C. Cowen Award for Sustained Achievement in Science Journalism,and the AAAS Westinghouse Award. An award-winning journalist surveys the horizon of a new revolution in science. Everything in the universe, from the molecules in our bodies to the heart of a black hole, is made up of bits of information. This is the radical idea at the center of the new physics of information, and it is leading to exciting breakthroughs in a vast range of science, including the invention of a new kind of quantum computer, millions of times faster than any computer today. Acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried offers a lively introduction to the leading scientists and ideas responsible for this exciting new scientific paradigm. Derived from a Kirkus review: The computer has, in the information age, developed into a powerful metaphor for understanding the universe. In a straightforward, often whimsical exposition of new revelations in computer science, theoretical physics, molecular biology, and the developing science of consciousness, Many computer functions, Siegfried asserts, including the binary coding with which computers calculate and the manner in which computers produce outputs from inputs according to pre-programmed mathematical rules, find analogues in nature. Siegfried hurtles from cell analysis to Boolean logic to quantum mechanics to the theory of black holes to make his point. He contends, the computer has become such a powerful symbol for the universe that scientists are in danger of mistaking the metaphor for nature itself: The computer has become as all-encompassing a model as Newton's clock, Siegfried concludes, but it may be no better able to explain everything in nature.

Amsterdam, Image, 1966. [10] pp. B./w. ills. Stenciled magazine in A4 format, stapled together with 1 staple (as issued). - Front cover with a small dam. spot. - Overall a neat copy. The issue offered here is the second to last issue of this alternative Amsterdam Provo magazine. There were only 8 issues in total, all published in 1966. - According to Roel van Duyn, this short-lived magazine "Image" was published to highlight the "light" side of the Provo movement. This was in contrast to the more "theoretical-dogmatic" approach of the main magazine Provo. -- In this first edition, the stenciled, handwritten note on the second page, as found on this page in the second edition, is missing. The printed note in the second edition states that 1000 copies of this issue were seized by the police, because of the last paragraph on that page which suggests blowing up the population register.

22x22 cm., ongenummerde losse - deels gevouwen en geillustreerde - platen op sterker papier in een witte map, deze iets smoezelik; inhoud in mooie staat. Zeer zeldzame publicatie ter promotie van het eerste wereldwijde plan voor binnenstedelijk elektrisch vervoer! "De Provo Schimmelpennink werd in 1967 lid van de Amsterdamse gemeenteraad. Hij stelde toen voor in Amsterdam 2000 collectieve fietsen beschikbaar te stellen, om het autoverkeer en de daarmee gepaard gaande luchtverontreiniging en parkeerproblemen terug te dringen. Nadat dit wittefietsenplan was afgewezen kwam Schimmelpennink met het Witkarplan, waarin een door hem ontwikkeld collectief motorvoertuig centraal stond. De witkar of "Elektriese Munt-Oto" was een cilindervormig voertuig op drie wielen, dat werd aangedreven door een 24 volt elektromotor van 2000 watt (wiki)". Bij de map zitten nog twee nummers (#3 en 4) van het Witkar nieuws, elk 4 paginas (gevouwen) met daarbij een 'invul-formulier' voor toekomstige deelnemers. En een eenzijdig bedrukte poster (drievoudig gevouwen en licht gebruind) "De Witkar - Hier is ie". Als extra nog een origineel Provo-pamflet uit 1966: "Provo's fietsenplan" (eenzijdig gestencild, 34x21,5 cm.). Spectaculair hoe ver de provo's hun tijd vooruit waren. Sprache: Niederländisch.

Vrij zeldzame volledige reeks van de originele 12 publicaties, soms op gekleurd papier gedrukt. De Kabouters waren een Nederlandse anarchistische groep in de jaren 70, opgericht door Roel van Duijn. Een van de doelstellingen was het opzetten van een alternatieve maatschappij gebaseerd op Van Duyns ideen zoals vermeld in zijn boek, "De boodschap van Een Wijze Kabouter". De Kabouters waren voornamelijk uit Amsterdam, maar waren ook actief in ongeveer 35 Nederlandse steden. Op het hoogtepunt van de activiteit van de beweging, rond juni 1970, woonden ongeveer 500 mensen de wekelijkse open bijeenkomsten bij, waar plannen en beleid werden besproken. Een jaar later was het lidmaatschap geslonken tot 20 personen. Sprache: Niederländisch.
