This is an excellent book to learn how to play chess. It contains strategy as well as basic moves and does so with humor and flair. It is a little dated (computers have been built that can beat the best human players) but it is still a very good read.

In addition, the author provides full details about these items. You will learn everything worth knowing about them. This includes not just their sources and decomposition stages.
