Computing Concepts for Information Technology explains how computers really work, including how images, sounds, and video are represented by numbers and how chips with millions of transistors process those numbers. Computing Concepts for Information Technology is suitable for people with no prior study of computer systems, although it may be helpful to have experience with a high-level programming language such as Java or Python. Computing Concepts for Information Technology tells a story that begins in the 19th century and shows that the Internet, phones, tablets, and laptops that are so much a part of our lives did not spring fully formed from a Silicon Valley campus. On the inside, computers are all about numbers, and the story continues with numbers and number systems. It reveals the mysteries of binary numbers and explains why computers use a number system different from the one we use every day. One of the reviewers of the book remarked that students of computing should know enough about the digital logic that makes computers work to believe that what’s inside is not little green Martians with calculators, and the book provides a thorough explanation. Input and output, data communications, computer software, and information security are covered at a fundamental level and provide the necessary background for further study. The beginning of the 21st century is an exciting time for those who make, use, and study computers and computer systems, and this book provides the basis for keeping up with the changes that are taking place right now.

Bob Brown (1886-1959) was an American writer and publisher, central to the pulp fiction factory of the early twentieth century, the expatriate avant-garde in France, and the Bohemian arts scene in Greenwich Village in the 1950s. Originally published in 1933, Houdini was a pamphlet-length book part of The Modern Edition poetry series under the editorial direction of Kathleen Tankersley Young. This new edition includes a Foreword by K. A. Wisniewski, an Introduction by Craig Saper, and a new cover and text design. It is the latest title from the revamped Roving Eye Press, the press originally started by Brown in the late 1920s.

In 1930, Bob Brown predicted that the printed book was bound for obsolescence. The time has come, he insisted, "to rid the reader of the cumbersome book." He invented a machine that would allow one to read books and any text extremely fast and in a hyper-abbreviated form. He called these abbreviated texts, with em-dashes replacing words, "readies." He envisioned sending the condensed texts through wireless networks. The Readies, describes these eponymously named abbreviated texts and his plans for a reading machine, but since he printed only 150 copies, the volume is practically unknown outside of a small circle of scholars. With this new edition, Craig Saper hopes to introduce Bob Brown's Roving Eye Press books to a new generation of readers.

By turns inspiring, compassionate and outraged, this personal story of being green makes the key issues easily understood. If you're someone who avoids reading about the world because you think it's too depressing, here's the good news: it's worse if you don't know. While some of the facts Bob presents are less than cheerful, his message is powerfully hopeful. With Bob Brown and the Greens set to become even more influential in Australian life, Memo for a Saner World is an essential record of what he stands for.
