I am an instructor at some university in Korea and have been about 25 years in the IT arena.
I have been looking for a right textbook for IT and non-IT major students from freshmen to Junior year.
Someone recommended this to me and I looked into it at the library. And I have finally decided to use it as the textbook for my class. Great things from this book are;
1. very clear and easy explanation on complicated concepts
2. very selective discussion subjects and questions at every chapter
3. corelation between IT and social issues like intellectual property
4. every subject starts with its history causing readers curiosity
5. contains lots of pictures and graphics helping students get “look and feel”

This book was very informal, however I did buy the later issue when I needed the most recent issue. It was delivered on time.

It has been a few years since I taught a college course that could be described by the phrase, “Introduction to microcomputers”, and I am not sure when I will do so again. Nevertheless, I still occasionally examine books looking for a really good one that could be used to teach the class. That was the context within which I examined this book.
I found it very suitable for such a course and would have no trouble using it as a text. The explanations are within the range of understanding that the students of such courses possess. There are a large number of colorful illustrations and a large set of questions appears at the end of each chapter. What I really loved about the book is the large number of quotes. Once I opened the book, I leafed through it reading all of them. It was a microcosmic lesson in the history of computing, scientific advancement and how computers are altering society.
I can strongly recommend this book as a text in any course that can be described by the phrase “Introduction to microcomputers.” It has all the required material and a great deal of tasty “informational sugar.”
