A book to read - Very Fuzzy Thinking.

Actually, the title to this post is a joke. I just finished a book written by Bart Kosko about fuzzy logic, and some of its practical applications. Not new, of course (1993), but an excellent introduction to the concepts of fuzzy logic. I highly recommend this: "Fuzzy Thinking". Gets a little metaphysical toward the end (I think Bart will grant me the slight tongue-in-cheek there), but everyone is entitled to state their personal beliefs at some point. And it is done in context. It's all good. Perhaps a little heavy for anyone of near-room-temperature IQ, but he does a nice job of making things understandable. Especially for someone with a philosophy degree. (Another joke - son No2 has a philosophy degree.)
OK enough. Family is arriving soon, and I need to get the turkey stuffed and in the oven.
