Download Prof: Alan Turing Decoded AudioBook Free
Alan Turing was a fantastic man who crammed into a life of only 42 years the professions of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and biologist. He's widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated by his unappreciative country, and it has become hard to disentangle the true man from the story. It is simple to cast him as a misfit, the stereotypical teacher. But actually Alan Turing was never a teacher, and his nickname, 'Prof', was presented with by his codebreaking friends at Bletchley Playground. Now Alan Turing's nephew, Dermot Turing, has considered a fresh go through the influences on Alan Turing's life and imagination and the later creation of the legend. For the first time it is possible to disclose the true identity behind the cipher-text: how did Alan's childhood encounters influence the man? Who were the influential figures in Alan's formative years? How did his strategies progress? Was he a really solitary, asocial genius? What was his wartime work after 1942, and why was it stored even more solution than the Enigma account? What is the truth about Alan Turing's conviction for gross indecency, and did he commit suicide? What's the importance of the Royal Pardon granted in 2013? In Dermot's own style he requires a vibrant and engaging approach to the life span and work of a genuine genius.
