I was very suprised when I read the first chapter of this book and then skimmed the rest of the book. This book would be great for high school or introductory level students. The University of Phoenix is using this as a textbook and I feel this is to entry level for a University course. The author does a good job of covering the current state of the industry. There is also some history thrown in for good measure. Overall the book is good but not for advanced coverage of the topics covered in the book.

I bought book at a thrift shop for $1 just to skim. It provides a good overview of computer technology and software, with extensive graphics and case studies. Most of the info was so basic I didn't learn much. However, the database chapters were good and helped me prepare for an MBA course on the topic. The book would be a good choice for a gen ed "intro to computers" course, a high school class, or for anyone who wants a good overview of current technology.

I have no access to this book, as I am a lecturer at various universities in Tehran, and teaching the same subject,so, I am interested to have an example of it as free of charge for introducing it to students and others.If so, send me a message then I can provide you with my address. Dr. M.S.Tehrani
