Great overview of the topic!

This was one of my favorite textbooks when I was working on my BSCS degree. The author takes the opposite approach from that used in most computer organization/architecture texts. He starts with what the student already knows -- high-level programming languages -- and works his way down through assembly language, machine language, binary arithmetic, logical operations performed at the CPU level, and digital circuits. In later parts of the book, he treats the computer as a whole system, giving the reader a wider perspective. He then goes into "alternative" computing models, including RISC and parallel computing. For a textbook, this book was a very enjoyable read.
