It is a review of "The Design and Evolution of C++", but even so you may
wish to read this book.

P.S. Though I have still not found complete funding for a Ph.D. since my
departure from Pisa, I have recently been awarded a research grant
elsewhere and we hope that just enough further funding shall be found in
the Fall to allow me to officially enroll to study for a Ph.D.
