5.0 out of 5 stars IWonderful series!
Honestly, I did not read it. I look forward to have it. I gave the book five star according my evaluation to the Volume 1 and my respect to David B. Fogel.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evolutionary Computation 2 - Advanced Algorithms and Operations (Paperback)
Volume I provided the general theory of evolutionary computation. This second volume on the other hand aims at introducing the reader to more practical aspects of evolutionary computation.

While i found the first volume great, this second volume lacked the details that are required to provide an intuition of the working of advanced evolutionary techniques. I feel that "How to solve it" by Michalewicz and Fogel and "Genetic algorithms + data structures = evolution programs" by Michalewicz both provide this experience useful to implement evolutionary techniques, by not trying to trade-off pages for understandability.

I would not recommend this book because it tries to introduce advanced aspects that are too difficult to cover in a single chapter each. If you really want to understand the practice of evolutionary techniques, you need a good intuition of how the various operators and structures work on real problems, just reading a few pages will not do the job.
