This book is a celebration of Leslie Lamport\'s work on concurrency, interwoven in four-and-a-half decades of an evolving industry: from the introduction of the first personal computer to an era when parallel and distributed multiprocessors are abundant.
Some of the algorithms have become standard engineering practice for fault tolerant distributed computing - distributed systems.
His Works lay formal foundations for concurrent computations executed by interconnected computers.
