Product Description

From the Author

Welcome to the YOUNG READER'S edition of The Code Book. I edited and re-wrote large chunks of the original book to make it suitable for young teenagers, and I hope that you will find it an interesting and exciting introduction to cryptography.
There are very few science books for younger people, so I was keen to rework The Code Book for this readership. Cryptography is a subject that has a great appeal for students interested in science, history, technology and the Informaion Age. I hope that I have created a more digestible version of The Code Book, without sacrificing any of the meaty ideas and scientific concepts that were in the original book.

The Code Book: How to Make It, Break It, Hack It, or Crack It

Excellent,Marvolous, Fantastic!

What more can i say?

If your keen on learning about cryptograhy which now-a-days is in high demand for big buisnesses such as atkins global, and many software companys, then get this book! It is a great read, packed with lots of very usefull information layed out with excellent precision whilst still holding the charicteristics of an easily readable book. Being able to pick up a book and read it is one thing, being able to pick up a book, be pulled in to its pages whilst you read it and then be able to show how much you have understood and learnt by putting your new skills into practise is another! Whether you are looking forward at a career in cryptography or you just want to stock up the knowledge, this is your best bet!
