OUT OF THEIR MINDS
The Lives and Discoveries of 15 Great Computer Scientists
Dennis Shasha and Cathy Lazere

A collection of 15 short biographies of great living computer scientists.
The technical level ranges from standard biography (untechnical)
to a verbal description of the fundamental ideas in an algorithm,
architecture, language or AI technique.
The more you know, the more you'll enjoy the book, but
people who simply like biographies also like the book.
