Computers are everywhere today--at work, in the bank, in artist's studios, sometimes even in our pockets--yet they remain to many of us objects of irreducible mystery. How can today's computers perform such a bewildering variety of tasks if computing is just glorified arithmetic? The answer, as Martin Davis lucidly illustrates, lies in the fact that computers are essentially engines of logic. Their hardware and software embody concepts developed over centuries by logicians such as Leibniz, Boole, and Godel, culminating in the amazing insights of Alan Turing. The Universal Computer traces the development of these concepts by exploring with captivating detail the lives and work of the geniuses who first formulated them. Readers will come away with a revelatory understanding of how and why computers work and how the algorithms within them came to be.Binding Type: Hardcover

Leaves skin clean and soft
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Leaves skin clean and soft and much to my surprise did not make my skin break out even though more traditional cleansers often do. This is a really nice product, better than more expensive department store brands I've tried.

Amazing product that I continue to order again and again!
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing product that I continue to order again and again! I love the formula of this product! It is perfect for using as a first wash to gently remove makeup or dirt build up before washing with another cleanser. It is great for people with dry skin or if you wear a lot of powder makeup or powder on top of foundation, and it is great for removing mascara and heavy eye makeup as well. It is great for sensitive skin, and I feel like it is super gentle & made with clean ingredients. Bioderma is a brand I trust, and this is a product I will continue to restock!

On My 5th Bottle – That Says It All
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my fifth bottle of Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil, and that alone should say how much I love it.
It removes makeup effortlessly, including stubborn mascara and long-wear products, without irritating my skin. The formula feels gentle and nourishing, not heavy or greasy. It rinses clean and leaves my skin feeling soft and balanced rather than stripped.
I appreciate that it works well even on sensitive skin and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It has become a staple in my routine, and I keep repurchasing because it consistently delivers.
Highly recommend if you want an effective yet gentle cleansing oil that truly works.
