Unfortunately, the book this was included in: _Computing: A Human Activity_

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4594604-computing

is out of print, as is _Concise survey of computer methods_ and rather pricey.

Oddly, _Knowing and the Mystique of Logic and Rules_ (which has an even lengthier title after a colon...) has four entries at Goodreads and is listed under "P. Naur" and is even pricier, quite expensive on Amazon:

even as an ebook.

It would be more influential if it was affordably in print....




It was reprinted elsewhere, in an agile book (which one?) which this (more readable than linked) copy [1] is from. I think the other one might be from another edition of the same book. I ordered Computing A Human Activity a few weeks ago, its still in shipping, probably got the cheapest remaining copy.
