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.

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

Hood Fitch 1817-1892. 8-3/4" x 5-1/4" <br/><br/>Walter Fitch was a botanical illustrator from Scotland. Fitch's illustration have appeared in Curtis's Botanical Magazine most publications issued by Royal Botanical Gardens Kew George Bentham's 'Handbook of the British Flora' James Bateman's "A Monograph of Odontoglossum" and William Hooker's "A century of Orchidaceous Plants". "Fitch was made a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1857." wiki. The previous owner inscription reads "Skipper Kent 1953". Skipper Kent was a restauranteur in the San Francisco Bay Area owning Zombie Village in Oakland and Skipper Kent's in San Francisco. These "tiki" inspired restaurants were his pride and joy as he was already and avid collector of Polynesian art and artifacts. Kent was also an avid orchid collector so we suspect this was in his library at one time with his interest in botany. The embossed library stamp comes from the library of Herman Knoche 1870-1945. Knoche was born in San Jose California and studied botany at Stanford University. He moved to France to further his studies at University of Montpellier; his particular interest was island vegetation.
