Review
'... this reviewer cannot imagine a book better suited to inspiring the sceptical hacker into believing that there is some genuine value in formal methods.' R. H. Banach, Axis
'... most books about Z emphasise the mathematics, ... The Way of Z breaks out of this mould to make Z relevant and accessible to all programmers. It is an ideal first or second-year book for students of computing science who want to design and write reliable programs.' Harold Thimbleby, New Scientist
'... especially good for more advanced students ... this book will be inspirational and provide practical guidance to real software engineers.' Computer Journal
