Concentrating on malware and phishing, this is a very decent guide for "average" 
computer users with little or no security background or knowledge.  Three sections 
in a kind of dictionary or encyclopedia format: malware and threats, protection 
technologies, and a (very brief but still useful) history of malware (1949-2012).

Available free for download, and (unlike a great many "free" downloads I could 
name) you don't even have to register for endless spam from the company.

Recommended to pass around to family, friends, and your corporate security 
awareness department.
