How It Works...The Computer

“How it works: the computer” by David Carey. This book was published in 1971, and the revised edition was published in 1979 by Ladybird Books.

Book Description

If you are interested in computers, their function and operation, but are discouraged by their complexity, you should read this book. It deals as simply as possible with the principles and does not delve too deeply into electronics. The combination of carefully-written text and instructive illustrations should give older students a good basic knowledge of what computers are all about.
