プログラムはなぜ動くのか 第３版　知っておきたいプログラミングの基礎知識

This book reveals how the act of "writing a program" is transformed into action inside a computer. The flow of how source code is translated, loaded into memory, and executed by the CPU is explained with illustrations. Hardware and OS mechanisms are also covered, allowing the reader to learn the basics for a deeper understanding of the program. For example, the chapter on memory mechanisms answers questions such as why programs are deployed in memory and what the heap and stack do. When I was a student, I was not good at these computer science classes, but if I had read this book back then, I would have been able to understand the course content better.
