The earlier books, Parts I and II, have been reviewed in this journal. Genetic programming has attracted a great deal of interest and as most readers will know is a method for having a computer solve a problem by telling it what needs to be done instead of how to do it. What is so worthwhile about this text is that genetically evolved solutions are presented by the writers to dozens of problems that range over: design, control, classification, system identification and computational molecular biology. These solutions include more than a dozen results that are competitive with human produced results and include rediscoveries of previously patented inventions (see http//www.mkp.com)
