The Reasoned Schemer
Familiarity with a functional language or with the first eight chapters of The Little Schemer is assumed. Adding logic capabilities required the introduction of new forms. The authors’ goal is to show to what extent writing logic programs is the same as writing functional programs using these forms. In this way, the reader of The Reasoned Schemer will come to understand how simple logic programming is and how easy it is to define functions that behave like relations.

Selfish Routing and the Price of Anarchy
Roughgarden begins with a relatively nontechnical introduction to selfish routing, describing two important examples that motivate the problems that follow. The first, Pigou’s Example, demonstrates that selfish behavior need not generate a socially optimal outcome. The second, the counterintiuitve Braess’s Paradox, shows that network improvements can degrade network performance. He then develops techniques for quantifying the price of anarchy (with Pigou’s Example playing a central role). Next, he analyzes Braess’s Paradox and the computational complexity of detecting it algorithmically, and he describes Stackelberg routing, which improves the price of anarchy using a modest degree of central control. Finally, he defines several open problems that may inspire further research. Roughgarden’s work will be of interest not only to researchers and graduate students in theoretical computer science and optimization but also to other computer scientists, as well as to economists, electrical engineers, and mathematicians.

Cornucopia Limited – Design and Dissent on the Internet
The network economy presents itself in the transactions of electronic commerce, finance, business, and communications. The network economy is also a social condition of discontinuity, indefinite limits, and in-between spaces. In Cornucopia Limited, Richard Coyne uses the liminality of design — its uneasy position between creativity and commerce — to explore the network economy. He argues that design, with its open-ended and transgressive explorations, provides a new way to think about the world of commerce; design’s inter-territorial precinct, its in-between condition, offers a way to frame the problems of the Internet economy — for profit vs. for free, private vs. public, security vs. open access, defense vs. permeability.

Introduction to Programming Using VISUAL C++ .NET
Recognizing that most programmers will ultimately be applying these techniques in an object-oriented programming (OOP) context, Gill adopts a programming style (e.g., use of very small functions, dividing projects into separate files, creating functions to perform specific operations on structures) that fits nicely with typical OOP approaches.

Strength Design in Aluminum: A Review of Three Codes
The aim of this book is to provide a basis for the preparation of a common document by signaling the areas of agreement, and more importantly, the areas of disagreement. By stripping the load and resistance factors from the design expressions, this book is able to compare the essential rules of engineering on which the codes are based, and to compare the positions taken by three different code writing committees. This book is a valuable resource for structural engineers working with aluminum, especially in the U.S.A., Canada, or in Europe.
