Troy, I constantly refer to Zachary, G. P. (1999). Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press Alex From: Members <members-bounces@lists.sigcis.org> On Behalf Of Troy Astarte Sent: September 3, 2020 7:31 AM To: members <members@sigcis.org> Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] Request for biographies [External Email] Dear SIG-CIS, What is your favourite biography of a scientist or mathematician? I’m particularly interested in modern subjects and those who worked in computing/computer science. Ideally the book would cover the subject’s work in a reasonable level of technical detail as well as their life and the broader context in which they lived and worked. I ask because I am considering applying for funding for an essentially biographical project on a computer scientist and I would like to read some (more) biographies first. Best, Troy Astarte School of Computing Newcastle University
