I'm a huge fan of David Macauley, but let me recommend a better book for telling people what computers do and how they do it. It's How Computers Work from Que Press (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0789734249/002-8 949151-7683258?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books& v=glance at Amazon. I've worked on it for 10 years, tapping some of the best brains in the industry. It's beautifully illustrated by Tim Downs, and it's sold more than 1 million copies. But don't take my biased word. Check it out at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. If you're into photography, there's How Digital Photography Works http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0789733099/002-89 49151-7683258?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v =glance. I'd seriously like to hear what you think, Ron White
