You’ll find everything you forgot from school–as well as plenty you never even learned–in this all-purpose reference book, an instant classic when it first appeared in 1987. The updated version takes a whirlwind tour through 12 different disciplines, from American studies to philosophy to world history. Along the way, Judy Jones and William Wilson provide a plethora of useful information, from the plot of Othello to the difference between fission and fusion. It’s not a shortcut to cultural literacy, the authors write in their introduction, but it’s an excellent “way in” to the building blocks of Western civilization: the “books, music, art, philosophy, and discoveries that have, for one reason or another, managed to endure.” Think of it as finishing school for your brain; study up and you’ll gain a lifetime’s worth of cocktail conversation–as well as a new list of books you simply must read.

Updated to include all the recent developments to the PC and complete with a CD-ROM, the third edition of How Computers Work is like a cool science museum in a book. But make no mistake–this is not a book for children. How Computers Work aims to teach readers about all the intricacies held within the machine, and it’s a daunting task. The author, Ron White, doesn’t dumb down his material; instead he provides thorough and substantive definitions. The pages of fun and colorful graphics ease the tension, though, and bring the abstract concepts–the difference between RAM and ROM, for example–into real life. The book has incredible depth, explaining everything you could want to know about your computer, with each piece of hardware being given full treatment over two to five pages. (Macintosh and UNIX users should be aware, though, that the book’s model is the “Wintel,” a Windows PC with an Intel microprocessor.) The book is well-structured and can easily (more…)
