Small remainder “dot” on the topside of the book.

What balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have bee grappling with similar problems for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us. [This book shows] how algorithms developed for computers also untangle very human questions....transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.” ISBN: 9781250118363
