Format:Hardcover
An essential core text for anyone interested in artificial intelligence with a particular emphasis on the practical use and implementation of intelligent agents. Thorough and comprehensive, yet highly suitable as an entry-level text and written with a light touch that actually had me chuckling out loud at a couple of points (believe it or not)!

Format:Paperback
This is my favourite AI textbook, which I strongly recommend. But be warned: it's long and detailed and thorough, so don't expect a lightweight overview - it's where to go when you really want to understand the stuff. It's heavily biased towards First Order Logic as the way to do knowledge representation, and is especially good on Bayesian networks.
If you're interested in the philosophical issues involved in "real artificial intelligence" rather than (or as well as) the technical stuff, chapter 26 is a superb introduction.

Format:Hardcover
With a light-heartened style, these authors take the reader from the basics to a very good level of knowledge. The reader chooses what level to get to, by means of solving the suggested exercises. Covers the main themes. Obviously aimed to inexperienced readers.

Fantastic book
Covers most areas of AI in one book, which I found very useful. Easy to read and easy to understand. The best AI book I've bought in a decade.
Published 18 months ago by Sarah
great book!
I'm a researcher in the domain of ontology engineering. This book is a "must-read" one for every scientist.

A bit of a tome, but generally very good
Be warned, this book is a bit of a door step. Very detailed and generally very good. I would probably recommend some online sites first to get a flavour for the types of algorithms... Read more

Good Within Its Scope
The only misleading or confusing feature of this book is its subtitle. "A Modern Approach" may have been the case when it was written, but certainly isn't now. Read more

Poor Place To Start Learning AI

A good overview of an old fashioned approach

Not the best I've ever seen
This book, while covering a lot of range that's needed for college level student, it's confusing in my opinion. It's not that this book is really bad, it's just how it's written. Read more
