Reviews
From the reviews: It is interesting that a book on interactive computation is constructed as a large cooperative effort involving 31 contributors; three of them also performed the editing task. ... Each section appears to be self contained--one may read in detail a chapter of personal interest in the middle of the book without having reference other material in the book. Each chapter has an excellent self-contained collection of references. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. (J. Beidler, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (9), May, 2007)
