'This book offers a comprehensive overview of the field, arguing the case for adaptation as key to mimicking human intelligence … The book includes a substantial bibliography documenting copious citations to the literature. There appear to be few other textbooks in this field apart from this unique work. As such, it will be welcomed by libraries supporting strong computer science programs that may have need for a core text in artificial intelligence.' D. Z. Spicer, Choice
