In plain words
Programming with Escher is a collection of educational notes for a code camp series introducing young computer science students to functional geometry concepts. Based on Peter Henderson's Functional Geometry paper, it teaches how to reconstruct Maurits Cornelis Escher's Square Limit woodcut using primitive graphical objects composed through a functional programming language. The approach adapts these advanced concepts for beginners learning fundamental programming principles.

I think it's one of the few "computer history" books that has tons of code, but correct me if I'm wrong (I wrote this both to tell a story and to learn :-)). My favorite languages are Smalltalk and Lisp, but as an Emacs user, I've been using the latter for much longer and for my…
