Books by James Martin are classics. If, on the first reading, one skips the "Prologue" on vocabulary, this new book fits that description. Computer users who need to know if expert systems are worth considering as a cost-effective solution to existing problems will receive valuable information. Unfortunately, the "Prologue" contains enough technical definitions to discourage such a reader from continuing. The rest of the book is a very clear presentation of what expert systems are, how they differ from other types of programs; moreover, Martin gives many examples of expert systems in use. The use of figures to summarize points and the extensive use of graphics make the exposition very easy to follow. The particular strength of this book is that it allows readers familiar with the developmental costs of standard systems to estimate the developmental costs of an expert system. -D. S.
