Any recommendations for books in the following areas of CS?
- Comparitive Programming Languages
( should cover declaritive and functional languages to a fair extent
in addition to imperitive )
- Computer Architecture / Hardware Organization
thanks!

Here are two books that I have no trouble recommending: Programming Languages: An Interpreter-Based Approach Samuel N. Kamin, Adison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-201-06824-9 Covers LISP, APL, Scheme, SASL, CLU, Smalltalk, Prolog by presenting a simple interpreter for each language and discussing the implementation. Complete sources in the book and also available via ftp. Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, 2nd printing David Patterson and John Hennesey, Morgan Kaufmann, 1990 Outstanding. The standard text. Software (benchmarks, cache traces, cache and instruction set simulators and a compiler) is available via ftp from max.stanford.edu. -- ============================================================================== Vladimir G.
