Peter Van Roy's and Seif Haridi' "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming" [1] has loads on the different paradigms and comparing them. Not a lot on the _history_ of those though. ACM's HOPL conferences would provide the history of particular languages. Between those two sources you ought to be able to construct something like what you need by mapping CTM's "this model uses these paradigms" to the HOPL papers. frank [1] http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.html > Thanks, > Max
