This book comprehensively surveys parallel prefix algorithms for shared memory and circuit models. It is probably the only book available in the literature for such a detailed treatment of the subject. For the research student there are a good number of exercises at the end of each chapter; the algorithms are also presented in a form that can be easily implemented. The notation, too, is very readable. * Rajesh K. Mansharamani, Tata Research Development and Design Centre, Pune, India, The Computer Journal, Vol. 38, No. 3, 1995 *
