Due to the great response to the famous 'Computer science handbook' edited by Allen B. Tucker in 1997, in 2004 Chapman & Hall/CRC published a second edition of this comprehensive reference book. Within more than 70 chapters, every one new or significantly revised, one can find any kind of information and references about computer science one can imagine. All in all, there is absolute nothing about Computer Science that can not be found in the 2.5 kilogram-encydopaedia with its 110 survey articles, each survey for about 1 dollar, a perfect deal!
