Computer Science: An Overview Description
Computer Science: An Overview uses broad coverage and clear exposition to present a complete picture of the dynamic computer science field. Accessible to students from all backgrounds, Glenn Brookshear uses a language-independent context to encourage the development of a practical, realistic understanding of the field. An overview of each of the important areas of Computer Science (e.g. Networking, OS, Computer Architecture, Algorithms) provides students with a general level of proficiency for future courses.
The Eleventh Edition features two new contributing authors (David Smith — Indiana University of PA; Dennis Brylow — Marquette University), new, modern examples, and updated coverage based on current technology.

This is a really nice book as it gives just enough detail to new computer science students so that they can decide if this is something they want to pursue or not. IT introduces some of the terms, concepts, and ideas that form the foundation of computer science. This book also comes with a 6 month subscription to a student resources site that has many quizzes, labs, etc. I do not recommend buying the book used because you will need a single use code to access the online features.

This edition is a great place to start for introduction on computer science topics. It goes in depth without over saturating the reader with information that a beginner won't understand. Used in my first ever computer science course. Put me miles ahead of students in the following semester who skipped the intro course. Another important fact, my instructor was the co-author David Smith from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
