Here you will find a regular featured book (which you can order online if you choose from amazon). We obviously will feature any new CBR books, but will also feature other books that will be of interest to you. These will include books on AI and machine learning, programming, the Internet and occasionally the odd book just for fun (we all need some down time).

Cambrian Intelligence : The Early History of the New AI by Rodney Allen Brooks (August 1999) MIT Press; ISBN: 0262522632 order online now

If you're an AI-newbie you must read some Rodney Brooks and if you're an old hand then you'll already know what to expect from Rodney. Often confrontational and always thought provoking Rodney makes you question some of the basic tennents of AI (at least some of the ones I was taught). Does this relate to CBR? Well, yes in that he argues for a behaviourist approach to AI in which all intelligence and action is not necessarily guided by explicit respresentations of knowledge, - but hey, being lazy learners we knew that already.

what was the previous recommendation?
