You'll see Books, which is your iBooks data. You'll also see iTunes_Control which is your iTunes media files. Recordings contains your Voice Memos, and DCIM contains your Camera Roll photos.
Apps
From the Device Overview screen, click on Apps under the Files tab. This will open the main directory for your iOS applications. Each App will have it's own folder. To open or work with an App directory, double-click any App.
