Description
Alan Turing's life was marked by remarkable achievements in logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology. Despite his significant contributions to these fields, it wasn't until much later that his name became widely recognised.
This centenary edition of his mother's biography is enriched with a new foreword by Martin Davis and a previously unpublished memoir by Alan's older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the original biography sheds new light on Turing's relationship with his family and provides fresh insights into the man himself.
