Query: An intriguing read..

Anyone slightly interested in Evolutionary Computing and Neural Networks (Genetic Algorithms, Neuroevolution, etc.) is probably already familiar with David Fogel, or his father. This book is an exciting (dare I say adventurous!) read for anyone in the field of EC.However, I think the biggest achievement here is the crossover value of this book. It appears to me that it should be readable and highly interesting to a broad spectrum of people, including those even only slightly interested in Artificial Intelligence, high technology, and chess, checkers, and other "deep" games (bridge?). This is mainly because the text is arranged in a unique way such that the muddy details of Blondie24 are easily skipped over (as they are in their own appendix). Dr. Fogel's clear, flowing, enjoyable writing style is also fabulous. Great for everyone!
