Jean Sammet wrote Computer Languages: History and Fundamentals in 1969. It was a survey of 120 programming languages, some examined in considerable detail. Sammet's book chronicled languages that were designed before the Structured Programming Revolution and the later development of Object-Orientation. The book's cover featured a picture of the Tower of Babel. Many of the bricks in the structure of the tower bore the names of programming languages.
