This easy-to-follow introduction to computer science reveals how familiar stories like Hansel and Gretel, Sherlock Holmes, and Harry Potter illustrate the concepts and everyday relevance of computing. Picture a computer scientist, staring at a screen and clicking away frantically on a keyboard, hacking into a system, or perhaps developing an app. Now delete that picture. In Once Upon an Algorithm, Martin Erwig explains computation as something that takes place beyond electronic computers, and computer science as the study of systematic problem solving. Erwig points out that many daily activities involve problem solving. Getting up in the morning, for example: You get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast. This simple daily routine solves a recurring problem through a series of well-defined steps. In computer science, such a routine is called an algorithm. Erwig illustrates a series of concepts in computing with examples from daily life and familiar stories. Hansel and Gretel, for example, execute an algorithm to get home from the forest. The movie Groundhog Day illustrates the problem of unsolvability; Sherlock Holmes manipulates data structures when solving a crime; the magic in Harry Potter’s world is understood through types and abstraction; and Indiana Jones demonstrates the complexity of searching. Along the way, Erwig also discusses representations and different ways to organize data; “intractable” problems; language, syntax, and ambiguity; control structures, loops, and the halting problem; different forms of recursion; and rules for finding errors in algorithms. This engaging book explains computation accessibly and shows its relevance to daily life. Something to think about next time we execute the algorithm of getting up in the morning.

Hailing from the tiny hamlet of Kitee, Finland (pop. 10,000) Nightwish has captivated the world’s imagination with magical million-selling releases like Once, Century Child, and Wishmaster. Their saga is a heavy metal fable as dramatic and tumultuous as the band’s epic symphonic music. In these details and confessions, a vivid and painfully honest portrait of a musical dream emerges--and tensions swell as a split with original singer Tarja Turunen becomes inevitable. In this remarkably revealing official biography, author Mape Ollila charts the rise from village student project to global stardom, gaining unprecedented access not just to the members of Nightwish past and present; but also their families, their loyal and lewd crew, their peers, their critics, and countless other insiders from the Nightwish adventure. The book lays bare the creative firepower and personal demons of songwriter Tuomas Holopainen; the unique talents and traits of guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and bassist Marco Hietala; and the true reasons behind the 2005 departure of vocalist Tarja Turunen--in the band’s words and hers. Along the way, the band struggles with religious protesters, fortune-tellers, naked crew members, health problems, shady promoters, out-of-control fans, and the growing pains of an ever-steeper rock star learning curve. Happily ever after or not, these unique Finnish personalities are brought to life in this journey of into the mysteries of...Once Upon a Nightwish.

A hard-hitting tale of addiction, recovery, and loss ** Includes 40 full-colour illustrations ** “I knew the group of five meant for trouble, as they circled me and started pushing me. That soon disappeared as one of them, from the corner of my eye, uppercut me to the jaw. I was out cold – sparked on the street.” HIT: ONCE UPON A FIELD explores the important issues of epilepsy and addiction with a gripping narrative that shifts from coming-of-age biography to true crime page-turner. This is the story of Stephen Reding, an artist from Manchester whose life was forever changed following an unprovoked assault in 1995. One week after the incident, he suffered his first epileptic seizure. What follows is a tale of seismic proportions, as we trace this promising young artist’s journey into a life of addiction, chaos, and crime. An ill-fated trip to Thailand results in a months-long disappearance, where he is caught up in drug dealing and working for an organised crime gang in Bangkok. Stephen returns to Manchester with an impressive art portfolio, but this is overshadowed by his growing dependence on opiates – an addiction that leaves him isolated on the fringes of society and running for his life… “I ordered a beer at the airport bar and put my ticket inside the newspaper. A gent came and sat next to me. We talked. He took the newspaper with the ticket inside and went to make his journey. The job was done.” An unflinching account of one person’s struggle to reclaim their identity in the face of adversity, HIT: ONCE UPON A FIELD is set apart by the stunning paintings that frame each chapter. Here, the protagonist’s own artwork guides the reader through this unique tale of addiction, recovery, and loss.
