Title: Don't buy this book...
Product review: This book is NOT an "Introduction" to Genetic Algorithms. It is an academia blathering about genetic algorithms citing mostly other people's work with no practical examples. If you are looking to actually get some program code up and running to experiment with genetic algorithms, this is NOT the book to get. If you are a professor searching for a GA book to use in your classes, please do not select this one. Your students will hate your class.However, if you are looking for a discussion of some variations of genetic algorithm approaches to solving various problems from a higher level perspective, it might be worth a read. I realize this review may seem harsh, but when a book is so completely mis-titled it is misleading. This book is written for people with a thorough knowledge of genetic algorithm use already.
