Industry Reviews A textbook for anyone who has a passing acquaintance with procedural languages, such as BASIC or Pascal, but who has not met a functional language like Lisp before. In addition to providing a step-by-step introduction to Lisp, the book illustrates the use of Lisp through the development of a realistic project: the design and implementation of a Lisp-based interpreter for the language ABC.
