This continues a series that began with "Fortran 8x Explained", and has since tracked each step in the standardization of Fortran. For this new volume we welcome Malcolm Cohen, the well-known writer of the NAG compiler, as a third co-author. The book distinguishes clearly between the two language levels, 95 and 2003, and their three formal extensions (two of which are extensions to 95 only, having been incorporated fully into 2003). No earlier standards are treated in the main text. Publication details: "Fortran 95/2003 Explained", Metcalf M., Reid J. and Cohen M., published in June 2004 (August in the US) by Oxford University Press, is available in both paperback (ISBN 0-19-852693-8, £24.95/$49.50) and hardback (ISBN 0-19-852692-X, £65/$124.50). For more information and ordering details, please visit the Oxford University Press website: www.oup.com, or the usual on-line suppliers. A summary of the contents is given below. We hope this book will be useful to all those wishing to find out about or learn Fortran 95 or Fortran 2003, and to those requiring a complete and handy reference.
