**** One of the few thorough and authoritative single-volume encyclopedias (the 2nd edition of 1983 is cited in BCL3 and Sheehy), the new edition of this influential work has been expanded, updated, and revised to reflect the latest developments in computer science and technology. Of the approximately 725 entries (many with illustrations, tables, or charts), 175 are new (on topics including algorithmics, computational geometry, fiber optics, logic programming, network protocols, and window environments), while the 550 articles from the previous addition have either been updated, merged with new material, or deleted due to obsolescence. New to this edition is a 12-page color insert that spotlights advanced computer applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
