It was specifically written with high school students in mind, but is an excellect general introduction to Scheme for just about anyone. It's well organized, beautifully written, and chock full of fun and interesting examples (including an Eliza-like program based on Abbot and Costello's "Who's on first" routine).

We've been using Eisenberg's text on Scheme as a supplementary in our `SICP section' of our first year course. The students quite like it (and I like it too!). The current edition is keyed to PC-Scheme, but as I understand it, a MacScheme version is in production. -- \ Vincent Manis <manis@cs.ubc.ca> "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.
