The book review column

Slight change in information given: in the pa~t I have provided price and ISBN n~lmbers of books. The notion of price is ill-defined: the website ~vw~.bestbookbuys.com gives a range of prices from place to puch~se books on the web. (amazon.corn is usually not the cheapest, and its usually not even close.). Providing ISBN numbers is also not needed in this electronic age where such information is available at the touch of a button. If the price is notable-either rather high or rather low, this might be mentioned in the review. Welcome to the Book Reviews Cohere,1. We hope to bring you at least two reviews of books every month. In thi~ column four books are reviewed.. Data Structures-d Algorithms in Java (2nd ed) by Michael T Goodrich and Roberto Tamassia. Review by Hassan Mas-m.
