Computers : how digital hardware works / written by Perry E. Metzger & Penelope Spector ; illustrated by Jerel Dye.
"The whole world now runs on computers. They're everywhere, from your pocket phone to your microwave oven. But, what exactly is a computer? How could you possibly build machines that calculate things, play video games, and dim the lights on command? Professor Isabella Brunel, Victorian Era Computer Expert (and a Tyrannosaurus Rex), narrates a screwball comedy romp through the fundamentals of computer architecture"-- Provided by publisher.
