The mathematician and engineer Charles Babbage (1791-1871) is best remembered for his 'calculating machines', which are considered the forerunner of modern computers. Over the course of his life he wrote a number of books based on his scientific investigations, but in this volume, published in 1864, Babbage writes in a more personal vein. He points out at the beginning of the work that it 'does not aspire to the name of autobiography', though the chapters sketch out the contours of his life, beginning with his family, his childhood and formative years studying at Cambridge, and moving through various episodes in his scientific career. However, the work also diverges into his observations on other topics, as indicated by chapter titles such as 'Street Nuisances' and 'Wit'. Babbage's colourful recollections give an intimate portrait of the life of one of Britain's most influential inventors.

While the low prices and speed of delivery make the Kindle version of this old text intriguing, download a sample chapter before your purchase. This version lacks a table of contents and the scanning (?) process gave mixed results. Some pages are perfect and others (location 378 for example) are garbled.

X-MEN

I have read the original version "Passages from the life of a Philospher" from Charles Babbage from the campus library, and I have to say THIS version is absolute GARBAGE! This paperbook version is a SCAN from the original using OCR software (which does a horrible attempt to translate it into text). The first page in the book has a warning to the reader that asks for forgiveness due to the vast number of typos in the book. Their excuse is "We would really like to manually proof read and correct the typos. But since many of our books only sell a couple of copies that could add hundreds of dollars to the cover price." This was followed by "The publisher and author make no repesentations or warranties with respect to the accuracy or completeness of this book" This would have been NICE to know BEFORE I bought the book, but the descriptions made no mention of the books faults. It's missing all of Babbage's equations and all his illustrations of his Difference Engine. I suprised this book doesn't violate some copyright laws. If you buy this book, be prepared to be hodwinked. I will NEVER buy anything from AMAZON again. As far as I'm concerned, this is down right FRAUD!

Modar

Great thoughts from a great mind.
