  This text has two main parts - part 1 is a set of case studies which provide detailed descriptions of the use of computer systems in realistic situations and part 2 contains information chapters which provide the theoretical background. Both parts are cross-referenced via the index to help to relate theory to practice. The text contains a collection of articles from newspapers and magazines which look at new developments and the social implications of computers. Points for further discussion are included with each article. The book has been designed to cover most A and A/S level syllabuses in computing. It should also be useful for the Scottish Higher Grade exam and for BTEC courses.
