Machines dominate our lives, from alarm clocks that wake us up in the morning to radios that lull us to sleep. Most of our interactions with automated machines and computers are problem-free, but more often than we would like, they can be irritating and confusing. This is frequently harmless, such as a VCR recording the wrong show, but when it involves a critical system like an autopilot or medical device it can be a matter of life or death. "Taming HAL seeks to explain these miscommunications between humans and machines by exploring user interfaces of everyday devices. Degani examines thirty different systems for human use, including watches, consumer electronic products, Internet applications, cars, medical equipment, navigation systems onboard cruise ships, and autopilots of commercial aircraft. Readers will discover why interfaces between people and machines all too often do not work and what needs to be done to avoid potential tragedies.

New Biology for Engineers and Computer Scientists by Aydin Tozeren, ISBN 0130664634
Taking a system approach to expose modern biology, this book presents the fundamental system principles and parameters common to all living species. The straightforward examination begins with a presentation of molecular cell biology and progresses to the complex interrelationship between genes and proteins as observed in metabolic process, signal transduction, cell division and embryonic development. The book's unique approach provides a depiction of the human genome project, a review of high throughput biology and bioinformatic tools and a presentation of gene circuitry and pathway analysis as applied to cell division, development of embryo and metabolic pathways and expose of emerging proteomic science. The volume presents the chemistry of life, macromolecules of life, cells and their housekeeping functions, gene circuits, genomics, cell adhesion and communication, cell division and its regulation, development of multicellular organisms and large scale biology. For computer scientists,...

On God, Destiny, and Existents by Nasir Al-Din Al-Tusi, ISBN 0842523529
Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) was a renowned authority on and defender of Avicenna, who is regarded as one of the most influential of all Muslim philosophers. A brilliant thinker in his own right, al-Tusi was the author of over one hundred works dealing with astronomy and philosophy as well as Shi'ite theology, history, and mysticism. "On God, Destiny, and Existents is a collection of his treatises that examine such topics as free will and moral responsibility within the framework of his sophisticated determinism. This work epitomizes al-Tusi's unique approach that employs his mathematical skills in the service of philosophical issues. Prime among these is his argument against atomism and in favor of the indivisibility of substances.
