John Holland
This is the best general book on genetic algorithms written to date. It covers background, history, and motivation; it selects important, informative examples of applications and discusses the use of genetic algorithms in scientific models; and it gives a good account of the status of the theory of genetic algorithms. Best of all, the book presents its material in clear, straightforward, felicitous prose.
