Berkeley Edmund C
Giant Brains or Machines that Think.
New York: John Wiley & Sons 1949. First edition second printing of this important work which popularized cognitive images of early computers. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Erwin Tomash with warmest greetings for more than 20 years together in the computer field from Ed Berkeley October 11 1975." The recipient Erwin Tomash was an engineer who co-founded Dataproducts Corporation which specialized in computer technology specifically printers and core memory units. He is recognized for his early pioneering work with computer equipment peripherals. Tomash led the creation of the Charles Babbage Institute and is responsible for The Adelle and Erwin Tomash Fellowship in the History of Information Technology and The Erwin Tomash Library. With Erwin Tomash's bookplate to the pastedown near fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association linking these two pioneers in the field. Edmund C. Berkeley became famous in 1949 with the publication of his book Giant Brains or Machines That Think in which he described the principles behind computing machines called then "mechanical brains" "sequence-controlled calculators" or various other terms and then gave a technical but accessible survey of the most prominent examples of the time including machines from MIT Harvard the Moore School Bell Laboratories and elsewhere. In Giant Brains Berkeley also outlined a device which some have described as the first "personal computer" Simon. Plans on how to build this computer were published in the journal Radio Electronics in 1950 and 1951. Simon used relay logic and cost about $600 to construct. The first working model was built at Columbia University with the help of two graduate students. Berkeley founded published and edited Computers and Automation the first computer magazine. He also created the Geniac and Brainiac toy computers. John Wiley & Sons hardcover books

First Congregational Church Berkeley Calif.; Women's Association
The Berkeley Cook Book. Four Hundred Practical Receipts Used by Berkeley Women. Compiled by the Women's Association of the First Congregational Church
Berkeley California: The Church; Printed by thePress of Standard Publishing Company 1903. Octavo 23.25 x 14 cm. iv 171 i pages. Advertisements. Index. Evident first edition but subsequent to an 1884 publication with different subtitle author statement and publisher. A generous church cookbook with seven hundred recipes; noteworthy among them: Squash Muffins Celery Root and Hearts of Artichoke Mussel Bordelaise Clam Patties Spanish Meat Pie Coffee Fruit Cake Lemon Cocoanut Cake Cookies with Sherry Monterey Pudding Gooseberry Pudding Pineapple Blanc-Mange Strawberry Mousse. ~ Congregationalists answered the call from President Daniel Coit Gilman 1831-1908 of the University of California to build a hall and organize a fellowship of moral vision within reach of the campus community. The "local church" emphasis of Congregationalist governance had already attracted the largest Protestant presence in San Francisco. After ten years of planning members of Berkeley First Congregational were called to new quarters by a recently cast bell on 30 September 1884 at the corner of Durant Avenue and Dana Street. Thus the early version of The Berkeley Cook Book subtitled A Collection of Choice and Tested Recipes celebrated the dedication of the 1884 church while its younger sibling of 1903 would have appeared in time to honor the building's twentieth anniversary. ~ In another twenty years they would move again to a grander brick complex on Channing Way still only a few city blocks from campus designed by the Bay Area architect Horace Gardner Simpson. It served successive generations for ninety years but in September 2016 was gutted by fire and the building's fate is undetermined as of this writing. ~ Clean and bright. Lightly wear at fore-corners and spine. Stapled in olive wrappers titled in brown. Very good. OCLC locates three copies also four copies of The Berkeley Cook Book: A Collection of Choice and Tested Recipes by the Ladies of Berkeley Oakland: Pacific Press 1884; Cook page 27; Brown 57 with different pagination; not in Cagle.

Offprint from Transactions of the Actuarial Society of America 48 1947. 36-52pp. 228 x 153 mm. Original printed wrappers a few tiny spots almost invisible staple-holes in front wrapper. Very good copy. Former owner's name-stamp Clifford J. Maloney on wrappers. </p> <p>First Edition Offprint Issue. The first published paper on the commercial application of electronic / electromechanical computing in private industry outside of the telephone company. Drawing on material that he would later publish in his famous Giant Brains or Machines that Think 1949 Berkeley described the four large-scale computing machines then in operation—MIT's Differential Analyzer; Harvard's Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator; the Moore School's ENIAC; and Bell Laboratories' Relay Calculator—and discussed the machines' information-processing capabilities and their potential uses in the insurance industry. "It is natural to call these machines mechanical or electronic brains and to speak of them as machinery that thinks. This new machinery is certain to have far-reaching effects in all fields where the handling of information is the bulk of the work. . . . Much of the material in this paper is taken from a forthcoming book on the subject by the present writer and is used by special permission of the publisher" p. 36. </p> <p>Berkeley a seminal figure in the history of modern computing was introduced to computing using punched-card machine methods while working as an actuary at Prudential Insurance. In 1942 he joined the Navy and was assigned to the Harvard Computation Laboratory where he worked with Howard Aiken on the Harvard Mark II. In 1946 Berkeley returned to Prudential where he helped create a prototype premium billing trial for the Harvard Mark I and participated in studies that led to Prudential's purchase of one of the first UNIVAC I computers. He also began working on Giant Brains and in 1947 founded the Association for Computing Machinery. In 1948 he left Prudential to found his own company and in 1951 he began editing and publishing Computers and Automation later renamed Computers and People the first periodical specifically devoted to computing. He also headed his own publishing firm consulted for industry and invented and sold several build-it-yourself electronic computers and small robots Simon Squee Tyniac Brainiac etc. as educational tools. In his later years he became known as the conscience of the computer industry through his often-expressed belief that computers should be used not for military or destructive purposes but only for the benefit of society. </p> . unknown books
