This book provides documentation for a new version of the S system released in 1988. The new S enhances the features that have made S popular: interactive computing, flexible graphics, data management and a large collection of functions. The new S features make possible new applications and higher-level programming, including a single unified language, user defined functions as first-class objects, symbolic computations, more accurate numerical calculations and a new approach to graphics. S now provides direct interfaces to the poowerful tool of the UNIX operating system and to algorithms implemented in Fortran and C.

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2007
This book introduces the S language in a pace that is very suitable for first-time. The authors start from a high-level tour of various functionalities, and fill in details in the following chapters. The book is written more in a text book style with many exercises (and solutions). There's a chapter about the inner working of the S interpreter that may be of interest to people who want to reinvent S. Literally half of the book are references of functions of S, which may be handy for people who prefer paper versions than on-line help. The book, published in 1988, is pretty outdated (I haven't checked out the 1998 revised version), and I would recommend new S users to start from, for example, Chambers'
Programming with Data: A Guide to the S Language
