"This may be the most readable anthology that I have ever read. Kudos to the editors, who must have turned a global kaleidoscope of writing styles into an incredibly consistent example of best practices for technical writing, worthy of use for teaching good writing. In fact, from the top-down, the organization, syntax, and even the vocabulary are strikingly clear." (Chaim Scheff, ACM Computing Reviews, Apr 12 2013, Review #: CR141132)
