An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms is one of the rare examples of a book in which every single page is worth reading. The author, Melanie Mitchell, manages to describe in depth many fascinating examples as well as important theoretical issues, yet the book is concise (200 pages) and readable. Although Mitchell explicitly states that her aim is not a complete survey, the essentials of genetic algorithms (GAs) are contained: theory and practice, problem solving and scientific models, a "Brief History" and "Future Directions." Her book is both an introduction for novices interested in GAs and a collection of recent research, including hot topics such as coevolution (interspecies and intraspecies), diploidy and dominance, encapsulation, hierarchical regulation, adaptive encoding, interactions of learning and evolution, self-adapting GAs, and more. Nevertheless, the book focused more on machine learning, artificial life, and modeling evolution than on optimization and engineering.
