There is no greater study of the the Turing Test and the question "Can computers Think?" in existence. The bibilography that comes with it is amazing as well.

I own both this volume and volume 2 which covers English Civil War Cavalry. They are both part of the Osprey Men-At-Arms series. These books are not history books per say as they are not accounts of persons, places and events, but rather they detail the clothing, weapons and equipment of the Royalist and Parliamentarian infantry during the English Civil War as well as providing details on troop training, recruitment, and regimental and company structure. The illustrations are very detailed and by themselves are a wonderful resource especially for re-enactors.

Color is such an important element in Mr. Scharf's work that it's difficult to believe this monograph was published without it. There is not a single color photograph aside from the cover. And the book is so tiny [Dimensions (in inches): 0.26 x 7.85 x 5.28] that color photographs wouldn't do Mr. Scharf's work justice anyway. I recommend that interested parties try to find a copy of one of his out-of-print books at their local library. Mr. Scharf's work is amazing, and well worth viewing in full color, as he intended it to be viewed.

The whimsical paintings of Kenny Scharf could never truly be captured on the pages of some book- but this one comes very close! It's the best I've seen in the genre of Pop Art books and has some very interesting interviews with Kenny. But the artwork speaks for itself!
