I recently posted a request for book reviews of G. Edelman's _Neural
Darwinism_. A summary follows with comments.
Abbrevs:
TINS = Trends in Neurosciences
David Willshaw. TINS, Vol 11, No 11, pp 511-512. 1988.
Francis Crick. Neural Edelmanism. TINS, Vol 12, No 7, pp 240-248.
1989.
George Reeke, Jr. TINS, Vol 13, No 1, pp 11-12. 1990.
Letter to the editor concerning Crick's Neural Edelmanism.
Rick Michod. TINS, Vol 13, No 1, pp 12-13. 1990.
Another letter about Crick's article.
Francis Crick. TINS, Vol 13, No 1, pp 13-14. 1990.
Reply to letters to the editor.
Stephen Smoliar. Artificial Intelligence, 39, pp 121-136. 1989.
Paul Patton and Thomas Parisi. Brains, computation, and selection:
An essay review of Gerald Edelman's _Neural Darwinism_.
Psychobiology, Vol 17, No 3, pp 326-333. 1989.
The following is not a book review but was interesting.
Israel Rosenfield. The Invention of Memory: A new view of the brain.
Chapter "Neural Darwinism: A new approach to memory and perception."
Basic Books, Inc. New York. 1988.
Reviews that I haven't obtained follow. These may or may not strictly
be book reviews.
Israel Rosenfield. Neural Darwinism: A new approach to memory and
perception. The New York Review 33 (15, Oct 9), pp 21-27. 1986.
H. B. Barlow. Neuroscience: A new era? Nature 331, p 571. 1988.
Rick Michod. Darwinian selection in the brain. Evolution, Vol 43,
No 3, pp 694-696. 1989.
R. Nelson. Philosophical issues in Edelman's neural Darwinism.
Journal of Experimental and Theoretical AI, Vol 1, pp 195-208. 1989.
William Calvin. Science, June 26. 1988.
Much thanks to all who responded. As of right now, the reviews I've
reviewed (recurscurscursing again!) have persuaded me to put off a
thorough reading of _Neural Darwinism_. Sometimes second-hand
information is better than first...

A summary follows with comments. Does anyone know whether Darwin III has been completed and has been used for anything ? DARWIN II seems rather bulky for the things that it is supposed to do!
