This book serves as a premier resource on artificial chemistries, consolidating a breadth of ideas that had yet to be unified in such a way. Even after reading the book I know that I have yet to be finished with it. Readers with minimal scientific backgrounds who are interested in the origins of life, understanding life and evolution as chemical processes, and the innovation of chemistry, will thoroughly enjoy Banzhaf and Yamamoto's Artificial Chemistries.--Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines--
