Actually that book is published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, not by
MIT Press -- at least that's how it is on this side of the water.
(I did like many of the projects in "Advanced Logo," I should add.)


The MIT Press Logo books:

Clayson, James, "Visual Modeling with Logo"
	Geometric activities such as tiling, with a lot of detailed attention
	to actual patterns used in different cultures.

Cuoco, Albert, "Investigations in Algebra"
	Examples mainly from combinatorics and number theory used to develop
	ideas in abstract algebra.

Goldenberg, E. Paul, and Wallace Feurzeig, "Exploring Language with Logo"
	Linguistics topics, exploring the structure of large units (poems)
	down to small units (sound and spelling of words).

Hoyles, Celia, and Richard Noss, "Learning Mathematics and Logo"
	Just out -- a collection of research papers about various aspects
	of the use of Logo in math classrooms.

Lewis, Philip G., "Approaching Precalculus Mathematics Discretely"
	Vectors, transformations on the plane, graphs of functions, limits,
	and other such topics.


MIT Press books not in the series, but of related interest:

Abelson, Harold, and Andrea diSessa, "Turtle Geometry"
	A well-known classic, with a very advanced look at the mathematics
	behind the graphics.

Harvey, Brian, "Computer Science Logo Style"
	My three-volume series:
	    1.  Intermediate Programming
	    2.  Projects, Styles, and Techniques
	    3.  Advanced Topics
	The first volume is basically a Logo programming text with the
	emphasis on list processing (hardly any graphics).  The second
	is a collection of ten programming projects with commentary.
	The third is the first week of six college courses, from automata
	theory through compilers to artificial intelligence.

Solomon, Cynthia, "Computer Environments for Children"
	A research document describing and comparing four different
	approaches to the use of computers in education, including Logo.
