N2  - Gives readers a balanced, unbiased perspective on the languages, schools, theories and applications of artificial intelligence.  The authors integrate mathematical rigor with good programming practice and present the philosophical foundations of the science while acknowledging its limitations.  Algorithms are developed in LISP ang PROLOG, and object-based design is discussed with Common LISP Object System (CLOS) and Concurrent PROLOG.  In addition, the authors consider both the design of algorithms and their use in applications, including machine learning planning, the design of expert systems, and natural language understanding.  The books incorporates numerous new examples and problems as well as expanded end-of-chapter references.
