Well, page 13 of Lisp 1.5 has Maxwell's Laws of Software, after all. (Might have an error or two though.) ;-)
Pascal algorithms book is likely Wirth's Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs (subsequently revised as Algorithms and Data Structures, with an Oberon version as well.)
The Forth, Lisp, and Wirth books are readily available online.
One thing that the language books have in common is that they describe programming language (Forth, Lisp, Pascal) implementation. (Note Wirth subsequently removed the compiler section in deference to his longer compiler book, which covers more material and compiles an Oberon subset onto his own RISC processor design.)
