From the reviews: "'Principles of compilers' is a book on analysis of programming languages and compiler design. ... Although there are so many books in this area, this one does not appear to be just yet another book on compilers. It comes with a fresh approach on presentation and it could be used both by compiler professionals and computer science students." (Corneliu Barsan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1246, 2012)
"Principles of Compilers: A New Approach to Compilers Including the Algebraic Method" introduces the ideas of the compilation from the natural intelligence of human beings by comparing similarities and differences between the compilations of natural languages and programming languages.
