This is an authoritative book on the topic of Programming Languages. I found the book to be written too esoterically; I don't know how most of my class would have survived being a school with a significant proportion of ESL students (Canada). It is an interesting read and a wonderful course because of an excellent professor who could articulate this book in plain English. Eventually, I found that I would use my professor's lectures as it was more accessible. I am a Canadian/English native.
