5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Computer Programming 40 Years Later, August 9, 2006

By	Jakub Marecek (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Knuth's Art of Computer Programming summarized the state-of-the-art in research into algorithms in the seventies and set bar formidably high both in breadth and depth of presentation. Atallah's Handbook is one of the better attempts to survery the present, much wider scope of research in the field, even if it's lacking in Knuth's profundity. It most certainly makes an interesting read if you have the time it takes. If you enjoyed reading Knuth, you will enjoy browsing through Atallah as well.

Just bought the book and it has been useful already. If you are serious enough about computer science to want to know what is in the professional literature this is full of wonderful summaries.
