Reasoning About Knowledge

Rating:
Summary: Great book
Review: I have used only part of the book. Most of the book is explained using the 'muddy children' example, which also serves to illustrate the complexities in automating a trivial puzzle for humans. The book also contains accessible coverage of Kripke structures and Aumann diagrams. This is quite a accessible introduction to a fairly complex subject.

Summary: Great book by great person
Review: This book is by one of our professors in my university, and he is a wonderful professor. I can clearly imagine that he'd be a wonderful dad and a brother in law as well.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This is a good book, though it's hard to penetrate at times. It's comprehensive and you learn a lot going thru it slowly; my background is in economics/game theory so this contains a treatment of reasoning & knowledge one usually doesn't see in economics. My only -- and major -- gripe with the book is that it sometimes becomes very involved with a particular theorem/result without discussing why that is an interesting question/puzzle. As such, it's a great book when you already have motivation to learn this stuff and a puzzle to which you want to apply its techniques.
