Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 2nd Printing. From the U of Indiana website: "Gregory J E Rawlins left a childhood on the shores of Trinidad to study computer science in the wilds of Waterloo, Canada He now finds himself a professor of computer science at Indiana University, Bloomington, smoking far too many cigarettes Surrounded by several thousand books, he works in the gentle glare of his computer monitors, reading, writing, and supporting Bloomington bookstore owners in the style to which they have become accustomed The benevolence of an overindulgent public has encouraged him to write, then publish, several books over the years Besides regularly springing his books upon a trusting and unsuspecting public, he also delights in speaking on the future of electronic publishing and other aspects of the economics and sociology of computer technology A research scientist by profession, he toils in the fields of artificial intelligence, making genetic algorithms his particular interest He may yet learn to drive" This copy is in fine condition with no marks or damage at all to either the book or the DJ, which is in a protective mylar cover "Gift Quality" 536 pp. Seller Inventory # AA1116
