Linda Liukas

David Dyer's astonishing novel The Midnight Watchis based on the true story of the SS Californian, the ship that sawtheTitanic'sdistress rockets and yet, unfathomably, did nothing. A psychological thriller. Sometimes the smallest of human failings can lead to the greatest of disasters On a wretchedly cold night in the North Atlantic, a steamer stopped in an icefield sees the glow of another ship on the horizon. Just after midnight the first of eight distress rockets is fired. Why did theCalifornian look on while theTitanicsank? As soon as Boston Americanreporter John Steadman lays eyes on the man who stood the midnight watch on the Californian, he knows there's another story lurking behind the official one. Herbert Stone must have seen something, and yet his ship did nothing while the calamity took place. Now Stone, under his captain's orders, must carry his secret in silence, while Steadman is determined to find it out. So begins a strange dance around the truth by these three men. Haunted by the fifteen hundred who went to their deaths in those icy waters, and by the loss of his own baby son years earlier, Steadman must either find redemption in the Titanic's tragedy or lose himself. Based on true events, The Midnight Watchis at once a heart-stopping mystery and a deeply knowing novel - about the frailty of men, the strength of women, the capriciousness of fate and the price of loyalty.

Adventures in Coding

Hello Ruby

Vi presento Ruby, una bambina dotata di fervida immaginazione. Nel mondo di Ruby, tutto è possibile se ci si mette in testa di farlo. Mentre Ruby si imbarca nella sua avventura, attraverso la narrazione i bambini faranno conoscenza dei concetti base del coding. Grazie alle attività incluse in ogni capitolo, i futuri piccoli programmatori saranno entusiasti di mettere in pratica la loro immaginazione."Il coding è l'alfabetizzazione del XXI secolo e le persone hanno urgente bisogno di saper parlare l'ABC della programmazione. Il mondo in cui viviamo è gestito sempre più dai software e serve una maggiore diversità tra le persone che li progettano."Linda Liukas

Avventure nel mondo del coding

Hello ruby

Hello Ruby. Alla scoperta di internet

Was ist künstliche Intelligenz? Julia hat das beste Spielzeug der Welt: einen intelligenten und niedlichen kleinen Roboter. Ruby und Julia meinen, dass der Roboter mehr lernen sollte. Aber gehen Roboter zur Schule? Gemeinsam finden die Mädchen und der Roboter heraus, an welchen Stellen Menschen und Computer gleich lernen und wie sie sich unterscheiden. Und am Ende des Tages überrascht der Roboter sowohl die Kinder als auch die Lehrerin! Im Arbeitsbuch erfährst du, wie maschinelles Lernen funktioniert und wie Computer unterrichtet werden.

Wenn Roboter zur Schule gehen

What exactly is a computer? How does it work? What is it made of? Learn all this and more with Ruby! In Ruby's world anything is possible if you put your mind to it—even fixing her father's broken computer! Join Ruby and her new friend, Mouse, on an imaginative journey through the insides of a computer in search of the missing Cursor. From bits and logic gates to computer hardware, in Journey Inside the Computer, Ruby (and her readers!) will learn the basic elements of the machines that power our world. Then future kid coders can put their knowledge and imaginations to work with fun activities. Praise for Linda Liukas and the Hello Ruby series: "[Linda Liukas] wants kids to understand and embrace basic computer logic, so that they later formulate code in the same effortless and creative way they build structures with LEGO." —The Wall Street Journal "Hello Ruby by Linda Liukas is half picture book and half activity book rolled into one adorable package. What I love about it is that it introduces programming without requiring a computer at all." —GeekMom.com
