Book review: A QUICK REVIEW OF THE ELEMENTS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: An Introduction Using Lisp by Steven L. Tanimoto (Computer Science Press, 1987)

This is a really fine book for a first course in Al. Its examples are written in a subset of Common LISP compatible with other LISP dialects, so that they can easily be rewritten to run on say, CDC ALisp, or public-domain, DLisp, or some vendor-supplied system, like Translisp. (I have his version of Eliza running on XLisp and Translisp with minor changes. The "Doctor" program in the earlier edition of Winston's Al textbook will also run in place of Tanimoto's "Shrink," with only minor changes.)
