From the Paper:

"and to expose the unique concepts of threading and multithreading. The demand for faster and more powerful computers continues to grow as does the demand for better and faster operating systems. Both business and personal computing have become an everyday part of life for millions of individuals the world over. The majorities of the individuals use computers but do not know what is going on in the background. Operating systems, for example, have always worked on the old notion that one only has to know how to drive the car but not necessarily how the car works. In other words, operating systems do get the work done but the average computer user has no idea what the operating system did to get the work done."
