Many of us already have at least a passing acquaintance with procedural
languages such as BASIC or Pascal, but may not have met a functional
language like Lisp before. Using the same enjoyable and sometimes quirky
style that they employed so successfully in "The Art of C-Programming",
Robin Jones and his team explain the fundamentals of Lisp in a way that
students from school to postgraduates will find lucid and stimulating.
The book is unique in illustrating the use of Lisp through the
development of a realistic project: the design and implementation of a
Lisp-based interpreter for the language ABC.
