A good book if you are a student.

I felt that this book was aimed to first or second year college students. In my opinion,
It doesn't teach you about memory as a programming concept but rather the relationship of a program and memory in a computer.I do agree with the author on the notion that most students and many programmers do not understand how their programs run inside their computer. They know the buzz keywords such as process, thread, heap, stack and might be able to define them but in a very obscure shallow semi-taboo manner. This book will help you to understand the role of memory in your "Hello, World!" programs. I'm not giving five star because I'm not student anymore and the book is a little bit pricey (understandable from an academic publisher), but it is fun book to read.
