A biography that's 2/3 pictures starts me off in the skeptic camp. The merit of the book lies in its subject, a fascinating person who inadvertently started a school of martial arts and lived enlightened in the modern era. The myth behind Ueshiba's life is presented here, perhaps braided with fact, being written by a Buddhist scholar and published by Shambhala. All the same, I really wish that I'd been able to see the man himself; he sounds amazing. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75536438 Pattern Classification (2nd Edition) by Richard O. Duda

I mostly got this book for the bimodal reaching model described in Chapter 11, but the book as a whole is a decent introduction to self-organizing maps. It leans heavily toward the engineering side of things. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75534666 to: The Road (Hardcover) by Cormac McCarthy
