A comprehensive first course in Scheme, covering all of its major features: abstraction, functional programming, data types, recursion, and semantic programming. Although the primary goal is to teach students to program in Scheme, this will be suitable for anyone taking a general programming principles course. Each chapter is divided into three sections: core, appendix, and problems. Most essential topics are covered in the core section, but it is assumed that most students will read the appendices and solve most of the problems - all of which require short Scheme procedures. As well as providing a thorough grounding in Scheme, the author discusses different programming paradigms in depth. An important theme throughout is that of "meta-programming," thus providing an insight into topics such as type-checking and overloading which might otherwise be missed.

I highly recommend this book to help explain the mathematics and vocabulary used in the Scheme language. I recommend this book especially to those that are perplexed by the text in the book called The Little Schemer.
This book doesn't make the assumption, which The Little Schemer makes, that one understands the words used to program in Scheme.
The chapters are well organised, and shows the author to be organised in his thought processes. I can well imagine him to be a very understanding lecturer on the subject, giving thought to the probability that each student has different levels or aspects of understanding, and that nobody knows everything about any one thing.
