What's this book's relation to the Little Schemer? --maru (talk) contribs 01:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] With Julie Sussman?

Why the phrase "with Julie Sussman"? Is she regarded a contributor, rather than a full coauthor? Qwertyus 21:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, she's not listed as an author on the textbook, but she is an author on the teacher's supplement. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 17:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Is not listed where? On the book [1] it says "Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman" and in the Library of Congress Online Catalog MARC tags the main author field is "Abelson, Harold." and there are additional fields for both "Sussman, Gerald Jay." and "Sussman, Julie." --TuukkaH 17:42, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh right - the cover actually does say "with Julie Sussman". Hadn't noticed that. I guess that's what you were asking about in the first place. I don't know what the distinction is, but it certainly implies that Julie isn't a "full coauthor" on it. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 18:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Funny: Sussman's other book, Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics, is written by Gerald Jay Sussman and Jack Wisdom, with Meinhard E. Mayer. Qwertyus 19:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
