Summary: Very interesting read
Review: This is a book about solving problems, finding the limits of the kinds of problems we can solve, and those we will never solve, and how we solve them. It is also a book about the essential results of computer science, and will give the reader a better understanding of what computers can do, and why some problems in computer science are much harder then they appear.As far as I know, this is the only book that distills the essence of computer science, and presents it in a format suitable for the average reader. This is computer science's answer to Stephen Hawkings "A Brief History of Time".

Summary: An easy-to-read, for-all-readers algorithms book
Review: This is a truly magnificent book. It comprehensively covers most of the topics in the analysis and design of alogorithms with no mathematical burden to hamper you from getting through this subjet. Later on, you will most probably need a more intensive and mathmetical-analysis oriented book but be sure this second book will be far more easy to go through after you have have finished the "Algorithmics" book. Enjoy it.

Summary: language troubles
Review: Though the content is o.k. I was troubled by the use of only the male pronoun in the first edition, and the use of religion to defend that choice. I find referring to all people as "he" troubling and I'm a man. I actually sent my FREE copy back to the publisher because of this.
