Looking at LISP - Tony Hasemer - 1984 - Paperback - Addison Wesley Publishing Co.

LISP (LISP Processing) is the most accessible and popular language in the field of Artificial Intelligence (Al). Structurally simple and easy to learn, LISP can be applied to a broad range of tasks. Though once used only on mainframe computers as a vehicle for Al research, LISP is now available for Apple, Atari, and CP/M-based microcomputers.
LOOKING AT LISP examines the main features of the language, its syntax, interactive capabilities, and open-ended structure, using practical exercises and projects to give readers "hands-on" experience. While the author assumes some knowledge of computer programming, this guide concentrates on the most useful and interesting applications of LISP: creating Al game programs, manipulating lists and databases, designing production ("expert") system programs for functional problem solving, and developing programs that simulate "thoughtful" conversation with their user.
Microcomputer owners who are interested in simulating human thought through programming need a specialized language such as LISP, and LOOKING AT LISP is a masterful and practical guide to the language.
