Background See earlier review.
In particular, those which deal with concrete problems at a more philosophical level, like this book, have the potential to reach a much wider market. The immediate audience is clearly professional C programmers, and probably their managers. My feeling is that this book could attract a much wider audience among computer scientists from student to professor, and from among the ranks of the many highly skilled amateurs. The sample provided does not represent sufficient of the book for a judgment to be made about factual coverage, but the reputation of the authors is sufficient for me to believe that this area is not a problem. The organization as exemplified by the sample shows a good use of the approach to a topic by asking questions which find immediate rapport in the reader's mind, and then answering them almost by way of elucidation.
