After the success of the first edition, Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell has been thoroughly updated and revised to provide a complete grounding in the principles and techniques of programming with functions. The second edition uses the popular language Haskell to express functional programs. There are new chapters on program optimisation, abstract datatypes in a functional setting, and programming in a monadic style. There are complete new case studies, and many new exercises. As in the first edition, there is an emphasis on the fundamental techniques for reasoning about functional programs, and for deriving them systematically from their specifications. The book is self-contained, assuming no prior knowledge of programming and is suitable as an introductory undergraduate text for first- or second-year students.

In this inspiring and practical book Richard Bird, himself the fortunate owner of a large woodland, shows how woodland conditions can be created with the help of just one tree or a few shrubs and the careful preparation of the soil to simulate that found beneath and around trees in the wild. By providing this dappled shade the area will become a happy home to a whole host of beautiful plants that give year-round interest in the form of flowers, fruit and leaf-shapes, and which thrive in the cool, humus-rich soil.
