ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This important new book details the design of robotic devices that can learn--without input from outside sources--from their own experience and are thus able to establish self-sustaining behavior. The subject of considerable growing interest across a wide range of fields, "learning machines" will provide invaluable assistance in both the home and the workplace; some functions include monitoring industrial equipment, piloting aircraft, and performing many routine jobs without special instructions. Machines that Learn shows the design of a simple neural network that works more like the animal brain than conventional neural networks. It also provides unusual explanations of the terms "organization", "information", and "order". Hundreds of drawings and diagrams provide invaluable supplements to the text. Uniquely accessible and well-written, the book will be welcomed by researchers, technicians, engineers, and students interested in artificial intelligence, control engineering, computer science, and robotics.(Publisher).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
