Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach introduces basic ideas in artificial intelligence from the perspective of building intelligent agents, which the authors define as "anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon the environment through effectors." This textbook is up-to-date and is organized using the latest principles of good textbook design. It includes historical notes at the end of every chapter, exercises, margin notes, a bibliography, and a competent index. Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach covers a wide array of material, including first-order logic, game playing, knowledge representation, planning, and reinforcement learning. Review The most comprehensive book on AI, Jan 31 2004 By D Ray (Toronto) Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach is definitely the most comprehensive book on AI I have come across. The latest edition covers everything from KR and Machine Learning to Robotics and Statistical learning, and has new chapters on Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Planning. Artificial Intelligence has diverse branches and it's hard to see the correlations between them. This book manages to take a very innovative "agent" approach and tries to show some parallels between very disparate methods. In my opinion, each branch of AI has made great progress by itself but more work needs to be done in trying to combine the different approaches together and create more comprehensive systems. The book does Read more...

Reviews Great handy pocket guide, Jan 24 2003 We had one - but lost it - and went out and bought the same again. Need I say more?

One of the most widely used teaching theory books. Recommended for all TEFL/TESL teachers. This third edition has been completely rewritten and updated to combine the best of traditional approaches with the latest developments in language teaching theory and methodology. The Third Edition of this "classic" text incorporates a broader and more detailed analysis of issues relevant to language teachers. "The Practice of English Language Teaching" is full of practical suggestions and samples from actual teaching materials. *Includes new examples from published coursebooks and reference materials *'Follow-up Tasks' to practise the ideas presented in each chapter *Suggestions for further reading, and a detailed bibliography Theoretical insights into teaching English as a second language developed in recent years are brought together in a broad methodological approach called the balanced activities approach. The book aims at providing a theoretical background to the approach as well as detailing practical instructional techniques. The first of the three parts of the book, on theory, outlines the concerns of applied linguistics that have influenced English teaching, including (1) language learning motivation and success factors; (2) the knowledge and skills of a native speaker; (3) the content and varieties of language instruction; and (4) the connections between language learning and language teaching. The second part, on practice, focuses on specific techniques and ma Read more...

Amazon.com Compressed Image File Formats is an appealingly compact and useful guide to some of today's most popular file formats used for image data. For any programmer who needs to know how images are stored, this concise reference can serve as a really invaluable resource. Besides full coverage of the popular BMP, GIF, and PNG file formats, the book zeroes in on the JPEG standard, perhaps today's most popular (and most complicated) image format. In a series of short chapters, the book looks at JPEG in detail, from basic file organization (its format and marker fields), file compression techniques (like Huffman coding and DCT), and how to decode (read) and encode (write) JPEG images. By condensing hundreds of pages of specifications and documentation from the voluminous JPEG standard into this short volume, the author has created a worthwhile summary of key JPEG features and compression techniques useful to any graphics programmer. The book also includes C++ code for a simple JPEG encoder (on the accompanying CD-ROM). This example can get you started compressing images using the JPEG format. In addition, the book discusses techniques for creating and decoding progressive JPEGs (used for downloading images in stages, in progressively finer resolutions, over the Internet). Whether you are a programmer faced with decoding or encoding image data, or an interested Webmaster who wants to know the pros and cons of today's image file formats, Compressed Image File Formats Read more...

The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about biology -- only what they'll need to know to score higher on the GRE Biology. There's a big difference. In Cracking the GRE Biology, TPR will teach test-takers how to think like the test-makers. This is accomplished by teaching students how to: Know what types of questions to expect Improve scores by studying the topics most likely to appear on the test Sharpen skills in TPR's biology lab Get ahead with Word Watch, TPR's list of terms that frequently appear on the test *This book includes a full-length simulated GRE Biology test. All of The Princeton Review's sample test questions are like the ones test-takers will see on the actual GRE Biology test, and every solution is fully explained.
