Programming Languages: Paradigm and Practice

Programming Languages: Paradigm and Practice, second edition, offers an up-to-date presentation of the concepts, theories, and histories of the numerous high-level programming languages. The book gives equal weight to both imperative (Pascal, C, C++, Ada, etc.) and declarative paradigms (Prolog, LISP, SQL, SETL, etc.) while emphasizing theoretical foundations for different language types.
