From a review of the first edition:
‘This book is a veritable tour de force. Harel writes with uncommon verve,
clarity and imagination.
‘Through the use of tantalizing questions and aptly chosen and often amusing examples,
the author transmits to the reader the excitement and intellectual satisfaction of computer
science research. Without the use of formal mathematics and without any sacrifice of
intellectual integrity, he conveys to the general reader the profound principles on which
computer science is founded and which hitherto were only accessible in abstruse and
esoteric textbooks and papers.
‘This is scientific writing at its best.’
Dr Stan Scott, Queen's University Belfast The Times Higher Education Supplement.
This book tells the story of the concepts, ideas, methods and results fundamental to computer
science, in a form independent of the details of specific computers, languages and formalisms. It
concerns the true ‘spirit’ of computers; with the ‘recipes’ that make them tick – their algorithms.
New to this edition
■ Chapters on software engineering and on reactive systems.
■ Thoroughly revised chapter on programming languages.
■ New material on quantum and molecular computing.
■ Whole text thoroughly updated to include new material on many topics, including abstract
data types, the object–oriented paradigm, primality testing, and system verification and
validation.
David Harel is Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the
Weizmann Institute of Science. He is renowned for outstanding research in many areas of the
field, and has recently been awarded the Israel Prize in Computer Science. Yishai Feldman is on
the faculty of the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science at the Interdisciplinary Centre, Herzliya.
He specializes in the use of artificial–intelligence techniques in software engineering and their
real–world applications.
