Hu, David: "C/C++ for Expert Systems," Management Information Source, 
ISBN 0-943518-86-5. 565 pages. $25

I spent an hour or two scanning [not reading] this book, and it seems a 
strange hodge-podge of Lisp, C, C++, Smalltalk, Prolog discussions, etc.

The example programs are primarily C-like, not C++ style.

I wouldn't recommend this book in general, but it may be useful if you want
to try doing Lisp-like things in C++ [but use classes and virtual functions,
as opposed to the C-like approach discussed] or Expert System stuff.  
Its kind of fun if you have a twisted mind just because it covers such a 
wide range of stuff.
