A dramatic historical narrative of the man who stole the secret of tea from China

In 1848, the British East India Company, having lost its monopoly on the tea trade, engaged Robert Fortune, a Scottish gardener, botanist, and plant hunter, to make a clandestine trip into the interior of China-territory forbidden to foreigners-to steal the closely guarded secrets of tea horticulture and manufacturing.

Michael Sipser’s emphasis on unifying computer science theory – rather than offering a collection of low-level details – sets the book apart, as do his intuitive explanations. Throughout the book, Sipser builds students’ knowledge of conceptual tools used in computer science, the aesthetic sense they need to create elegant systems, and the ability to think through problems on their own.”Intended as an upper-level undergraduate or introductory graduate text in computer science theory,” this book lucidly covers the key concepts and theorems of the theory of computation. The presentation is remarkably clear; for example, the “proof idea,” which offers the reader an intuitive feel for how the proof was constructed, accompanies many of the theorems and a proof. Introduction to the Theory of Computation covers the usual topics for this type of text plus it features a solid section on complexity theory–including an entire chapter on space complexity. The final chapter introduces more advanced topics, such as the discussion of complexity classes associated with probabilistic algorithms.
