The book: Understanding Artificial Intelligence, by: Henry C. Mishkoff,
published by Howard W. Sams & Company, a division of MacMillan Inc. (4300
West 62nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46268 USA) seems to have about the emphasis
and level that you describe. You may want to check into it. Here in the
U.S., I got it for about $15.
It was written for industry audiences more than university students, but you
may consider this a plus, judging from your "application" emphasis. In
addition to a high-quality typesetting, it has a bibliography and glossary in
the back. It's 250 pages. (NOTE: I have no vested interest in whether or not
the author sells a single copy.)
