I'm looking for a book.....

Timing of gift isn't anytime soon. Recipient has a BS in computer engineering,
and wants a book on computer architecture that's more up-to-date than
his text, includes micros, minis, mainframes, supers, etc. I couldn't
convince him that Digital's "VAX Hardware Architecture Manual" was _the_
book on computer architecture (I'm a VMS system manager :-), so I'm
looking for suggesstions.

I'm sure he wants a technical book, one that a CS major with a weak
math or hardware background would be afraid to tackle. And I'm sure
that he'd like a book that mentions software.

Thanks!
