The history of the computer is entwined with that of the modern world & with the life of one man, the brilliant but troubled Alan Turing. How did the computer come to structure & dominate our lives so totally? In Jon Agar`s enlightening story of the `universal machine`, we discover how Turing`s groundbreaking work not only helped break German codes during the Second World War but also founded the beginnings of the modern computer. Persecuted by the authorities for his homosexuality, & ultimately hounded to suicide, Turing`s personal tribulations are as relevant to the modern world as his work on computing, as indicated by his posthumous royal pardon of 2013 & the recent film The Imitation Game, which focuses on Turing`s turbulent life. ...

In 1932, long before travelling in Central Asia became fashionable, Ella Maillart travelled to Russian Turkestan, bordered by China, Tibet, Pakistan, & Afghanistan. Her dream was to see the mountains that lay on the fringes of China & the Takla Makan desert. She travelled like a nomad
- slowly, by camel & on foot. Setting out from Moscow, she crossed Kyrgyzstan as far as the Tien Shan range (the Celestial Mountains). She climbed the 5, 000 metre-high Sari Tor on makeshift skis, explored the legendary cities of Tashkent, Samark&, Khiva & Bukhara, travelled down the Amu Daria river & crossed, solo, the freezing & hostile wastes of the Kizil Kum, the Desert of Red Sands. Her companions are drawn from both past & present
- Mongolian princesses rub shoulders with Trotskyist exiles, whilst pilgrims & dervishes ride alongside emperors & kings. Even today, a trip like this would be considered daring. That Ella Maillart did it, largely alone & more than 70 years ago, makes her journey all the more remarkable.
