Friedman, Indiana University" This third edition builds on the strengths of the previous editions and provides a comprehensive, no-nonsense introduction to Scheme. The combination of solidity and finesse displayed in this book makes it a reference text for educated computer scientists. The accompanying software, Petite Chez Scheme, makes it the ideal starting point for any programmer who wants to extend his or her repertoire with Scheme." --Olivier Danvy, BRICS, University of Aarhus, Denmark, co-Editor-in-Chief of Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation" I have been using previous editions of "The Scheme Programming Language" in my Programming Language Concepts class for 13 years. The students need to learn the basics of Scheme in a few days, and then to pick up some of the harder concepts as the course progresses. This terse but complete book with its excellent examples fits the bill perfectly. Students quickly learn a lot from this book, and many of them make a point of telling me how much they like it." --Claude Anderson, Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology& quot; Kent Dybvig's The Scheme Programming Language is to Scheme what Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language is to C.& quot; --Daniel P.
