   Two books have just been published which cover the entire first year 
   programming and program design course at Imperial College, University 
   of London. They are:

   "Program Design with Modula-2"
   S. Eisenbach & C. Sadler,
   Addison-Wesley
   ISBN 0 201 17567 3

   and

   "Abstract Data Types in Modula-2"
   R. Harrison
   John Wiley & Sons
   ISBN 0 471 92230 7

Well, being a 2nd year student at Imperial, I can tell you that the
book by Susan Eisenbach is, indeed very good, though I haven't
actually read any of the published book, Susan used the proofs as
lecure notes last year.  My only complain is that she uses 'bubbles'
in her data flow diagrams, rather than something easier to write in.
