Coles The Story of Ada Lovelace: The mathematical genius at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Serious history told so that no child could resist.
Daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was a child prodigy. Brilliant at maths, she read numbers like most people read words.
Lady Byron wanted Ada to be as unlike her father as possible. Ada grew up surrounded by an army of tutors who taught her every subject every waking moment, except for poetry.
In 1843 Ada came to the attention of Charles Babbage, a scientist and inventor who just built a miraculous machine called the "Difference Engine". Ada and Mr Babbage started working together - a perfect partnership which led to the most important invention of the modern world: the computer!
Short Books is re-releasing some of its finest writing as a newly designed series of six children's biographies called The Great Victorians.
These are entertaining and engaging stories of some history's most fascinating characters. They tell history in a novelistic, engaging way, a halfway house between storybooks and traditional history. There is abundant humour and drama too.
With beautifully designed covers these books will catch the eyes of parents as well as children. Also published in a highly collectable set.
