Evolutionary Computation in Optimisation: Learning and Design
Evolutionary Computing is a rapidly expanding area of computer science and its applications. This book covers a wide range of techniques aimed at explaining the subject to an audience ranging from advanced undergraduates and researchers to practitioners operating in the field. It is designed to cover the material found in a typical university course on the subject found at these levels. Much of the material has until recently been the subject of research papers and has only lately been incorporated into the university curriculum.
Miraculous Air: Journey of a Thousand Miles Through Baja California, the Other Mexico
This exquisite book is a rare jewel in the literature of Mexico and its little-known peninsula, Baja. On this austere and beautiful slip of land, C. M. Mayo creates a multi-layered, deep map of place, filled with daredevil aviators, sea turtle researchers, stone age cave painters, and countless other colorful characters. Mayo covers Baja from Cabo San Lucas to Tijuana, bringing wit and curiosity to a story that moves seamlessly through history, myth, art, and local color.

Grasslands
Few, if any, trees grow in the open spaces called grasslands. Prairies are wide, tumbling seas of grass, with tough, hardy plants that cover thick carpets of tangled roots in rich soil. Meadows spread out in lowlands, midlands, shorelands, and on mountains tops. Creatures who live on or in these grassy jungles feast on plant life (and each other), burrow in the soil, and thrive in their non-woody homes.
