Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick This book presents an interesting challenge. It talks about algorithms
yet it does not present algorithms, nor does it define algorithm as
anything more than a "problem-solving method suitable for
implementation as computer programs[p.4]." Instead, it exhibits
programs which are the implementations of algorithms and discusses them
as if the algorithm is apparent. The reader is left with the challenge
of learning to discriminate between what is essential about an
algorithm, and how to preserve that in an implementation, versus what
is inessential to the algorithm and introduced on account of the
implementation and the use of particular programming tools.

How does developmental psychology connect with the developing world?
What do cultural representations tell us about the contemporary
politics of childhood? What is the political economy of childhood?
This companion volume to Burman's Deconstructing Developmental Psychology
helps us to explain why questions around children and childhood - their
safety, their sexuality, their interests and abilities, their violence
- have so preoccupied the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In
this increasingly post-industrial, post-colonial and multicultural
world, this book identifies analytical and practical strategies for
improving how we think about and work with children. Drawing in
particular on feminist and postdevelopment literatures, the book
illustrates how and why reconceptualising our notions of individual and
human development, including those informing models of children's
rights and interests, will foster more just and equitable forms of
professional practice with children and their families.
