I'm looking for suggestions for a text to use in a two term AI course
that I'll be teaching next year. The class will be a broad spectrum of
cs, psych and possibly business students, so the technical level of
the book shouldn't be too tough and should not depend on any
programming language. On the other hand, some cognitive science would
be nice.

I've already ruled out Charniak and McDermott (too advanced), Rich
(too old), Nilson (too technical), Winston (I just don't like it) and
anything with "Expert System" in the title or with big sections on
lisp.

The closest thing I've found is Fischler and Firschein, but it's a bit
too light.

Suggestions appreciated. The bookstore is getting antsy.
