Writing advice for engineers, so don't look for thrilling prose. This is a "just the facts" book that delivers on the promise of the title. In fact, one of the main themes of the book is to promise something and deliver on it.
I'll be using this framework for the next several things I write. It already makes me want to go back and re-do some presentations that just didn't quite work.

Artificial Intelligence, 2nd Edition (Addison-Wesley Series in Computer Science) by Patrick Henry Winston
This book explains the basic theoretical concepts of Artificial Intelligence. The emphasis in this book is on illustrations, not demonstrations or experiments. Ideally, a one-semester course in Artificial Intelligence using this book should be followed by a one-semester course in LISP. [LISP is an acronym for List Processing Language, a high-level computer language invented by Professor John McCarthy in 1961 to support research into computer based logic, logical reasoning, and artificial show more intelligence. It was the first symbolic (as opposed to numeric) computer processing language.] show less
