The current text provides a clear introduction to Computer Science concepts in a programming  environment. It is designed as suitable use in freshman- or introductory level coursework in CS and provides the fundamental concepts as well as abstract  theorems for solving computational problems. The Python language serves as a medium for illustrating and demonstrating the concepts.

From the reviews:

“It is aimed at college freshmen and teaches fundamental concepts and abstract notions, starting with the basics. … the exercises are the book’s most attractive feature. There are sample programs, and the exercises ask readers to figure out the expected outputs. These are great, and could even serve as excellent job interview questions! Overall, the book serves its purpose, and its intended audience, well.” (Naga Narayanaswamy, Computing Reviews, September, 2013)

The Python language serves as a medium for illustrating and demonstrating the concepts.

This book is needed because Python is becoming the language through which freshman computer science and engineering students are introduced to the concepts of programming and computer science

This book is a timely and strong alternative to the existing textbooks

This book introduces concepts by starting with the Q/A 'WHY'? and proceeds by the Q/A 'HOW'?. Most other books start with the Q/A 'WHAT'? which is then followed by a 'HOW'?

The CS content of this book is not hijacked by a programming language
