Computers and the Environment: Understanding and Managing Their Impacts
Personal computers have made life convenient in many ways, but what about their impacts on the environment due to production, use and disposal? Manufacturing computers requires prodigious quantities of fossil fuels, toxic chemicals and water. Rapid improvements in performance mean we often buy a new machine every 1-3 years, which adds up to mountains of waste computers. How should societies respond to manage these environmental impacts?
This volume addresses the environmental impacts and management of computers through a set of analyses on issues ranging from environmental assessment, technologies for recycling, consumer behaviour, strategies of computer manufacturing firms, and government policies. One conclusion is that extending the lifespan of computers (e.g. through reselling) is an environmentally and economically effective strategy that deserves more attention from governments, firms and the general public.

Quantum Computation & Information by Iaac L. Chuang, ISBN 0521635039
Nielsen and Chuang ask the question: What are the ultimate physical limits to computation and communication? They then go on to describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve problems faster than familiar "classical" computers, and the real-world implementation of quantum computers. Their book concludes with an explanation of how quantum states can be used to perform remarkable feats of communication, and of how it is possible to protect quantum states against the effects of noise. 91 line diagrams.

Computing in Architectural Practice
This book provides a concise introduction for small and medium sized architectural practices considering introducing computers or using them to enhance the way in which information is originated by and communicated between members of the building team. This book covers the three main areas of architectural practice in which computers have been most useful: office management, scheme and production drawing, and project management. Necessary technical terms are clearly explained, and key ideas illustrated with figures and diagrams.

The New Turing Omnibus: Sixty-Six Excursions in Computer Science by A. K. Dewdney, ISBN 0805071660
No other volume provides as broad, as thorough, or as accessible an introduction to the realm of computers as A. K. Dewdney's "The Turing Omnibus."
Updated and expanded, "The Turing Omnibus" offers 66 concise, brilliantly written articles on the major points of interest in computer science theory, technology, and applications. New for this tour: updated information on algorithms, detecting primes, noncomputable functions, and self-replicating computers--plus completely new sections on the Mandelbrot set, genetic algorithms, the Newton-Raphson Method, neural networks that learn, DOS systems for personal computers, and computer viruses.
