Develops implementations of a wide variety of Lisp-like and Scheme-like languages, most of them written in Scheme itself, with the purpose of highlighting the differences in the semantics of these languages and the way the languages are implemented.

One chapter lays out DenotationalSemantics for the SchemeLanguage. Another discusses the relative merits of single and multiple namespaces for LispLanguages (see SingleNamespaceLisp).

(Note the RecursiveAcronym in the title: Lisp in Small Pieces == L.i.S.P.)
