How to make it, break it, hack it, crack it. The secret history of
codes and code breaking. Simon Singh's best-selling title The Code
Book now re-issued for the young-adult market. The Science of
Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography. Simon Singh
brings life to an amazing story of puzzles, codes, languages and
riddles -- revealing the continual pursuit to disguise and uncover,
and to work out the secret languages of others. Codes have
influenced events throughout history, both in the stories of those
who make them and those who break them. The betrayal of Mary Queen
of Scots and the cracking of the enigma code that helped the Allies
in World War II are major episodes in a continuing history of
cryptography. In addition to stories of intrigue and warfare, Simon
Singh also investigates other codes, the unravelling of genes and
the rediscovery of ancient languages and most tantalisingly, the
Beale ciphers, an unbroken code that could hold the key to a USD20
million treasure.
