Last night I was raving about a book I had just read,
Introducing Artificial Intelligence by Henry Brighton, 2004. This book is illustrated with cartoons on each page depicting caricatures of the scientists and philosophers in the field. It covers the entire history of the field from "classic" A.I. to the "New A.I." including the terminology, debates, and the connection to philosophy of mind. It reminded me just how much this topic interests me.
It turns out that
Icon Books (a.k.a. Totem Books) was also the publisher of another of my recent favorites,
Dawkins and the Selfish Gene by Ed Sexton, 2001. They have a whole collection of
science titles. The four that are going on my wish list right now are
Introducing Mind and Brain,
Introducing Consciousness,
Introducing Learning and Memory, and
Introducing Genetics.
