I haven't read any of the chapters of this, so my comparison may be a bit off, but you might check out The Elements Of Computing Systems[1]. It goes from logic gates to compilers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book but it doesn't go into near as much detail as I would like- it gives a vague, general concept of how things work and some pointers on how to implement them, but doesn't really go into real systems, often relegating major features to "optimizations", etc.
