A moving memoir in the tradition of A Leg to Stand On and Intoxicated by My Illness --intimate, fearless, funny, shocking, painful and, in little mortal flashes, very wise. Run Over is about being hit by a truck at fourteen, and the ripples of that accident in Douglas Bell's life. Marooned in hospital at the exact point at which he was beginning to leave the shelter of his parents and launch himself at the world, instead Bell simply "recovered," under the watchful eye of a fiercely loving and anxious mother.

Aware that many students need a careful introduction to programming and that they respond well to graphical illustration, this concise book adopts a visual approach to programming. Throughout the text, programs that use graphical images are emphasized to clearly demonstrate all the important programming principles. The authors use a spiral approach to programming concepts; introducing concepts simply early on, then in a more sophisticated way later, (e.g., objects are integrated throughout five chapters). Java for Students emphasizes the use of applets but also shows how to program free-standing applications. The authors have been careful to put together a text that covers the powerful features of Java and presents the language to students as both a fun and useful tool.
