一本Lisp新书：Land of Lisp

[lispython]

好久没见Lisp新书了，No Starch Press预计在10月出版Land of Lisp，504页，下面是内容简介：

Lisp is a uniquely powerful programming language that, despite its
academic reputation, is actually very practical. Land of Lisp brings
the language into the real world, teaching Lisp by showing readers how
to write several complete Lisp-based games, including a text
adventure, an evolution simulation, and a robot battle. While building
these games, readers learn the core concepts of Lisp programming, such
as data types, recursion, input/output, object-oriented programming,
and macros. And thanks to the power of Lisp, the code is short. Rather
than bogging things down with reference information that is easily
found online, Land of Lisp focuses on using Lisp for real programming.
The book is filled with the author Conrad Barski's famous Lisp
cartoons, featuring the Lisp alien and other zany characters.
