This readable introduction to a difficult programming language is aimed chiefly at undergraduates of computer science and other disciplines, although its clarity of approach - featuring a minimum of technical jargon - will commend it to anyone who wishes to learn LISP, without having studied another language. A special feature of the book are the optional sections for those whose first language is Pascal. Comparisons between LISP and Pascal are made, which readers with no Pascal knowledge can safely omit without jeopardising their understanding of LISP. The reader is progressively introduced to the concepts, structure, functions, and operations of LISP, with later chapters covering more advanced material. Three chapters concentrate on the use of LISP within Artificial Intelligence - including a complete working Expert System which is explained in detail. Hints on writing better LISP programs are given where appropriate. End of chapter summaries and exercises with solutions are a valuable feature.
