Lisp is the second oldest computer language still in everyday use (the oldest if FORTRAN). Lisp was designed to make it possible to compute with abstract symbols rather than with numbers, and was used to do symbolic algebra. This book is about writing good programs in LISP. The dialect chosen to illustrate both LISP and good LISP is Common LISP. It is designed to be used in order, and it makes a fast-paced course (a single quarter) for enthusiastic undergraduates or graduate students with previous programming experience in a modern computer language. It both introduces Common LISP and shows how to write efficient and beautiful programs in it.

The Fortran 95 Handbook, a comprehensive reference work for the Fortran programmer and implementor, contains a complete description of the Fortran 95 programming language. The chapters follow the same sequence of topics as the Fortran 95 standard, but contain a more thorough and informal explanation of the language's features and many more examples. Appendices describe all the intrinsic features, the deprecated features, and the complete syntax of the language. The Handbook also includs a feature not found in the standard: a cross reference of all the syntax terms, giving the rule that defines each term and all the rules that reference it. Major new features added in Fortran 95 are the 'FORALL' statement and construct, pure and elemental procedures, and structure and pointer default initialization.
