| el codigo enigma historia real: X, Y and Z Dermot Turing, 2018-09-03 December, 1932 In the bathroom of a Belgian hotel, a French spymaster photographs top-secret documents – the operating instructions of the cipher machine, Enigma. A few weeks later a mathematician in Warsaw begins to decipher the coded communications of the Third Reich and lays the foundations for the code-breaking operation at Bletchley Park. The co-operation between France, Britain and Poland is given the cover-name 'X, Y & Z'. December, 1942 It is the middle of World War Two. The Polish code-breakers have risked their lives to continue their work inside Vichy France, even as an uncertain future faces their homeland. Now they are on the run from the Gestapo. People who know the Enigma secret are not supposed to be in the combat zone, so MI6 devises a plan to exfiltrate them. If it goes wrong, if they are caught, the consequences could be catastrophic for the Allies. Based on original research and newly released documents, X, Y & Z is the exhilarating story of those who risked their lives to protect the greatest secret of World War Two. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Alan Turing: The Enigma Andrew Hodges, 2014-11-10 A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The official book behind the Academy Award-winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades—all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing’s royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life. Capturing both the inner and outer drama of Turing’s life, Andrew Hodges tells how Turing’s revolutionary idea of 1936—the concept of a universal machine—laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing’s leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic account of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program—all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime. The inspiration for a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, Alan Turing: The Enigma is a gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution. |
| el codigo enigma historia real: Cryptonomicon Neal Stephenson, 2009-03-17 With this extraordinary first volume in what promises to be an epoch-making masterpiece, Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret histories of nations and the private obsessions of men, decrypting with dazzling virtuosity the forces that shaped this century. As an added bonus, the e-book edition of this New York Times bestseller includes an excerpt from Stephenson's new novel, Seveneves. In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse—mathematical genius and young Captain in the U.S. Navy—is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Waterhouse and Detachment 2702—commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe-is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. It is a game, a cryptographic chess match between Waterhouse and his German counterpart, translated into action by the gung-ho Shaftoe and his forces. Fast-forward to the present, where Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a data haven in Southeast Asia—a place where encrypted data can be stored and exchanged free of repression and scrutiny. As governments and multinationals attack the endeavor, Randy joins forces with Shaftoe's tough-as-nails granddaughter, Amy, to secretly salvage a sunken Nazi submarine that holds the key to keeping the dream of a data haven afloat. But soon their scheme brings to light a massive conspiracy with its roots in Detachment 2702 linked to an unbreakable Nazi code called Arethusa. And it will represent the path to unimaginable riches and a future of personal and digital liberty...or to universal totalitarianism reborn. A breathtaking tour de force, and Neal Stephenson's most accomplished and affecting work to date, Cryptonomicon is profound and prophetic, hypnotic and hyper-driven, as it leaps forward and back between World War II and the World Wide Web, hinting all the while at a dark day-after-tomorrow. It is a work of great art, thought and creative daring; the product of a truly iconoclastic imagination working with white-hot intensity. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Fall of Man in Wilmslow David Lagercrantz, 2016-05-03 Another electrifying thriller that begins with Alan Turing's suicide and then opens out to a young detective's awakening, and to the painful secrets about his own life—and the life of his country—from the author of the #1 bestseller The Girl in the Spider's Web. It's 1954. Several English nationals have defected to the USSR, while a witch hunt for homosexuals rages across Britain. In these circumstances, no one is surprised when a mathematician by the name of Alan Turing is found dead in his home: it is widely assumed that he committed suicide, unable to cope with the humiliation of a criminal conviction for homosexuality. But young Detective Sergeant Leonard Corell, who had always dreamt of a career in higher mathematics, suspects greater forces are involved. In the face of opposition from his superiors, he begins to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that leads him to one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war: the Bletchley Park operation to crack the Nazis' Enigma code. But he is also about to be rocked by two startling developments in his own life, one of which will find him being pursued as a threat to national security. |
| el codigo enigma historia real: Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia de los cátaros Óscar Fábrega, 2022-06-10 ¿Sabías que muchos cátaros creían en la reencarnación? ¿Y que pensaban que la salvación pasaba por la renuncia a lo material? ¿Qué relación hay entre los cátaros occitanos y el Santo Grial? ¿Existió el tesoro de Montsegur? ¿Llegaron a suponer un peligro real para la iglesia de Roma? ¿Sabías que existe una relación entre el género literario del amor cortés y el catarismo? ¿Y que los cátaros se negaban a comer carne, solo tenían una oración (el padrenuestro) y no aceptaban limosnas? Óscar Fábrega, historiador especializado en la historia de las religiones, además de exponer y explicar sus creencias, sus rituales y su historia, se hace eco de un sinfín de hechos desconocidos sobre los enigmáticos cátaros del Languedoc. Desde mediados del siglo XII hasta finales del XIII, el movimiento cátaro se alzó por Occitania, el norte de Italia, Flandes, Champaña y Cataluña como una auténtica iglesia alternativa a la de Roma, con su propia organización, su doctrina y un curioso rito iniciático, el consolament. Radicales en sus creencias e impregnados de una profunda espiritualidad, los cátaros protagonizan un período de suma importancia para Occidente. Estos rebeldes de la Edad Media calificaban de fraudulentos los poderes terrenales, rechazaban el materialismo, trataban a las mujeres en términos de igualdad, aceptaban la diferencia de credo, defendían el amor libre y afirmaban que el infierno no existía. Pero, sobre todo, los cátaros pusieron en entredicho la autoridad de la Iglesia y su concepción del bien y del mal, provocando que se tambaleara el sistema de valores impuesto. La respuesta del catolicismo fue tremenda: con el apoyo de la corona francesa, que ansiaba ocupar por fin Occitania, la Iglesia se lanzó a reprimir a sangre y fuego el movimiento cátaro occitano. Y consiguió acabar con ellos. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Cat Sense John Bradshaw, 2013-09-10 Cats have been popular household pets for thousands of years, and their numbers only continue to rise. Today there are three cats for every dog on the planet, and yet cats remain more mysterious, even to their most adoring owners. Unlike dogs, cats evolved as solitary hunters, and, while many have learned to live alongside humans and even feel affection for us, they still don’t quite “get us” the way dogs do, and perhaps they never will. But cats have rich emotional lives that we need to respect and understand if they are to thrive in our company. In Cat Sense, renowned anthrozoologist John Bradshaw takes us further into the mind of the domestic cat than ever before, using cutting-edge scientific research to dispel the myths and explain the true nature of our feline friends. Tracing the cat’s evolution from lone predator to domesticated companion, Bradshaw shows that although cats and humans have been living together for at least eight thousand years, cats remain independent, predatory, and wary of contact with their own kind, qualities that often clash with our modern lifestyles. Cats still have three out of four paws firmly planted in the wild, and within only a few generations can easily revert back to the independent way of life that was the exclusive preserve of their predecessors some 10,000 years ago. Cats are astonishingly flexible, and given the right environment they can adapt to a life of domesticity with their owners—but to continue do so, they will increasingly need our help. If we’re to live in harmony with our cats, Bradshaw explains, we first need to understand their inherited quirks: understanding their body language, keeping their environments—however small—sufficiently interesting, and becoming more proactive in managing both their natural hunting instincts and their relationships with other cats. A must-read for any cat lover, Cat Sense offers humane, penetrating insights about the domestic cat that challenge our most basic assumptions and promise to dramatically improve our pets’ lives—and ours. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: The Search For Nefertiti Joann Fletcher, 2013-03-28 Joann Fletcher, presenter of BBC2's 'Ancient Egypt: Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings' has written an enthralling account of Nefertiti, one of Egypt's most compelling and mysterious figures. Wife of the controversial pharaoh Akhenaten, she lived through perhaps the most tumultuous period in the country's long history. The so-called Amarna Period has long held a fascination - not just for the enormous changes it brought to the religion, art and administration of Egypt, but for the many mysteries which surround it. Mysteries, that is, until now. Leading Egyptologist Dr Joann Fletcher has taken a fresh eye to the evidence and arrived at one of the most dramatic discoveries in recent times. Working with a team of leading experts, she has identified a long-forgotten mummy as the body of a female pharaoh of the Amarna Period, whom she believes is Nefertiti herself. Lying for over three thousand years in an unused side chamber of Tomb KV.35 in the Valley of the Kings, it tells a story which will forever change the way in which we view Nefertiti - and indeed women throughout Egyptian history. Now at last we see the full significance of her role as co-regent and later Pharaoh of Egypt, as well as understanding the astonishing luxury and decadence of her life in Amarna - a life she led as the country around her began to disintegrate. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Turing's Vision Chris Bernhardt, 2016-05-13 In 1936, when he was just twenty-four years old, Alan Turing wrote a remarkable paper in which he outlined the theory of computation, laying out the ideas that underlie all modern computers. This groundbreaking and powerful theory now forms the basis of computer science. In Turing's Vision, Chris Bernhardt explains the theory, Turing's most important contribution, for the general reader. Bernhardt argues that the strength of Turing's theory is its simplicity, and that, explained in a straightforward manner, it is eminently understandable by the nonspecialist. As Marvin Minsky writes, The sheer simplicity of the theory's foundation and extraordinary short path from this foundation to its logical and surprising conclusions give the theory a mathematical beauty that alone guarantees it a permanent place in computer theory. Bernhardt begins with the foundation and systematically builds to the surprising conclusions. He also views Turing's theory in the context of mathematical history, other views of computation (including those of Alonzo Church), Turing's later work, and the birth of the modern computer. In the paper, On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem, Turing thinks carefully about how humans perform computation, breaking it down into a sequence of steps, and then constructs theoretical machines capable of performing each step. Turing wanted to show that there were problems that were beyond any computer's ability to solve; in particular, he wanted to find a decision problem that he could prove was undecidable. To explain Turing's ideas, Bernhardt examines three well-known decision problems to explore the concept of undecidability; investigates theoretical computing machines, including Turing machines; explains universal machines; and proves that certain problems are undecidable, including Turing's problem concerning computable numbers. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Zodiac Neal Stephenson, 2007-12-01 The second novel from the “hottest science fiction writer in America” and New York Times–bestselling author of Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon (Details). Meet Sangamon Taylor, a New Age Sam Spade who sports a wet suit instead of a trench coat and prefers Jolt from the can to Scotch on the rocks. He knows about chemical sludge the way he knows about evil—all too intimately. And the toxic trail he follows leads to some high and foul places. Before long Taylor’s house is bombed, his every move followed, he’s adopted by reservation Indians, moves onto the FBI’s most wanted list, makes up with his girlfriend, and plays a starring role in the near-assassination of a presidential candidate. Closing the case with the aid of his burnout roommate, his tofu-eating comrades, three major networks, and a range of unconventional weaponry, Sangamon Taylor pulls off the most startling caper in Boston Harbor since the Tea Party. “[Stephenson] captures the nuance and the rhythm of the new world so perfectly that one almost thinks that it is already here.” —The Washington Post |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Historiografía, marxismo y compromiso político en España José Gómez Alén, 2018-07-16 Durante las últimas décadas del franquismo y la transición posfranquista, los trabajos inspirados en los planteamientos teóricos y conceptuales que llegaban a España de la mano de las corrientes de la historiografía marxista británica y francesa contribuyeron a la renovación de la historiografía española y a la adopción de sus planteamientos teóricos y conceptuales. Los planteamientos marxistas supusieron un soplo de aire fresco a la anquilosada cultura nacionalcatólica y hagiográfica medievalista en la que anidaban los historiadores españoles hasta que la progresiva hegemonía del neoliberalismo provocó una vuelta al pensamiento neoclásico o de esquemas positivistas. Desde ese momento aquellas tendencias pasarían a un segundo plano empujadas también por los cambios políticos que parecían significar el fin de la historia. La crisis actual pone de relieve la insuficiencia de estos marcos teóricos para poder abordar con un mínimo rigor la realidad española actual en toda su dimensión. Historiografía, marxismo y compromiso político en España reabre aquel debate de la recuperación de los enfoques marxistas o estructuralistas en el debate económico y social actual. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: The Stonehenge Legacy Sam Christer, 2011-01-06 Eight days after the summer solstice, a man's corpse is discovered on the grounds of Stonehenge, strange symbols carved into the flesh. Amid a media frenzy, the case falls to Wiltshire policewoman Meg Redfern, who in turn appeals to young Cambridge historian Gideon Chase, an expert on ancient British archaeology. Their investigation threatens to expose a secret society - an ancient international legion devoted for thousands of years to Stonehenge. With a charismatic and ruthless new leader at the helm, the cult is now performing ritual human sacrifices in a terrifying bid to unlock the secret of the stones. Packed with codes, symbology, relentless suspense, and fascinating detail about the history of one of the world's most iconic, beloved, and mysterious places, The Stonehenge Legacy is a blockbuster thriller to rival the best of Dan Brown, Chris Kuzneski, and Raymond Khoury. |

| el codigo enigma historia real: Viviendo en el final de los tiempos Slavoj Zizek, 2012-08-27 No debería haber ninguna duda: el capitalismo global se está aproximando rápidamente a una crisis terminal. Slavoj Žižek, el filósofo más peligroso de Occidente, identifica la crisis ecológica mundial, los desequilibrios dentro del sistema económico, la revolución biogenética y las explosivas divisiones sociales con los cuatro jinetes de este moderno apocalipsis que se avecina. Pero si para mucha gente el fallecimiento del capitalismo parece ser el fin del mundo, ¿cómo se enfrenta a la vida la sociedad occidental en los tiempos finales? En un nuevo y agudo análisis que no olvida ni la protesta política ni la evasión ideológica, características de estos tiempos, Žižek sostiene que nuestras respuestas colectivas al Armagedón económico se corresponden con las etapas del dolor: negación ideológica, explosión de ira e intentos de negociación, seguidos por la depresión y la retirada. Después de atravesar ese punto cero, podemos empezar a percibir la crisis como una oportunidad para un nuevo comienzo. Como lo expresara Mao Zedong: «Hay un gran desorden bajo los cielos, la situación es excelente». |
