From the time when Charles Babbage first started construction of his difference engine through the construction of the Colossus computing machine and into the electronic micro circuit era the computer processing machine has undergone rapid and astounding development. From machines capable of carrying out a few calculations each minute the modern microprocessor is able to perform calculations in less than a second that the early machines would have taken over a thousand years to complete. This book winds back the clock almost 50 years to the dawn of the electronic microprocessor to show how a microprocessor can be built using only transistors. Includes all circuit diagrams and explanations on how they work through to the development of a fully functional unit that is capable of executing programs while displaying the inner workings of this amazing device. The reader can either follow the construction to build their own processor or just read through the process. Either way the information contained in this book should provide a source of interest for those who really want to understand how the processor at the core of almost every electronic system actually works.

Battles, protests, standoffs, strikes. We hear about them all the time. On the surface, a battle and a protest don‘t seem to have much in common, but they‘re really just two ways of handling a dispute. Both are conflicts.Using real-world examples, Why Do We Fight? teaches kids to recognize the structures, factors, and complex histories that go into creating conflicts, whether personal or global―as well as the similarities between both. From culture clashes and trade disputes to disagreements about how to govern, Why Do We Fight? insists that the key to peace lies in how we choose to deal with conflict. It provides tools to help readers seek out information, make informed opinions, and learn to respect that others may think differently.
