For your own use, you may make a copy in any form. However, you must not pass any copy on to anyone else, and you must not place any copy on a server for others to download.
:) "The book starts in Scheme, then adds object oriented techniques and assembly language. It finishes with a transition to Java, which is, of course, similar to C++. This approach will provide a much broader background than a typical text using C++ or C could."
:) "Concrete Abstractions provides a great intoduction to the world of Computer Science. It covers well basic ideas of abstractions, software design, algorithms, sorting, and much more."
