An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata, Seventh Edition Peter Linz and Susan H. Rodger 2023(c) Jones & Bartlett Learning LLC ISBN 9781284231601 (published 2023)

From the preface...

This book is designed for an introductory course on formal languages, automata, computability, and related matters. These topics form a major part of what is known as the theory of computation. A course on this subject matter is now standard in the computer science curriculum and is often taught fairly early in the program. Hence, the prospective audience for this book consists primarily of sophomores and juniors majoring in computer science or computer engineering.

Part 1 is the theory and Part 2 is applications. Part 1 explores finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines, grammars and other models of computation. Part 2 shows how the theory is applied for the algorithms of LL and LR parsing.
