This textbook is intended as a textbook for one-semester,
introductory computer science courses aimed at undergraduate
students from all disciplines. Self-contained and with no
prerequisites, it focuses on elementary knowledge and thinking
models. The content has been tested in university classrooms for
over six years, and has been used in summer schools to train
university and high-school teachers on teaching introductory
computer science courses using computational thinking. This book
introduces computer science from a computational thinking
perspective. In computer science the way of thinking is
characterized by three external and eight internal features,
including automatic execution, bit-accuracy and abstraction. The
book is divided into chapters on logic thinking, algorithmic
thinking, systems thinking, and network thinking. It also covers
societal impact and responsible computing material - from ICT
industry to digital economy, from the wonder of exponentiation to
wonder of cyberspace, and from code of conduct to best practices
for independent work. The book's structure encourages active,
hands-on learning using the pedagogic tool Bloom's taxonomy to
create computational solutions to over 200 problems of varying
difficulty. Students solve problems using a combination of thought
experiment, programming, and written methods. Only 300 lines of
code in total are required to solve most programming problems in
this book.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International
Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management,
AAIM 2019, held in Bejing, China in August 2019. The 31 full papers
presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers deal
with most aspects of theoretical computer science and their
applications. Special considerations are given to algorithmic
research that is motivated by real-world applications.
A concise and informative history of how China divided in 1949 into
two regimes, why they struggled to achieve the same political
goal-reunification of China--and why their struggle today continues
in a more complex and dangerous way. The authors detail how the
changes brought about by the 2000 election not only intensified the
conflict between the regimes but locked both sides into a new
contest that increased the probability of war rather than peace.
