Essentials of information processing

This introductory textbook covers the basics of information processing and is generally pitched at junior high students, though the level is not certain from the listing. Its many full-color photographs add little instructional value, and several are promotional images supplied by technology companies such as Hewlett-Packard and AT&T.

The book is a general primer rather than a guide to any particular software or machine, so it suits a first course in computing concepts.
