How Things Work by Charles F Bowman

How Things Work: The Computer Science Edition will serve as a roadmap for readers who want to overcome their technophobia and harness the full power of everyday technology. After finishing the book, readers will understand how computers and smartphones function and, more importantly, how they can make these devices work for them.

"Software architect Bowman offers a general primer on broad swaths of computer science that sheds light on the deep inner workings of the computers people interact with every day…This book could be instructive for all who depend on computers to do their jobs and are curious about how the devices work on more-technical levelsUndergraduate students and those working in IT or tech fields who have deeply specialized knowledge but would like to explore areas with which they are unfamiliar will prize this book."

--K. J. Whitehair, independent scholar
