     These books go into the "nuts and bolts" of EC.

     Goldberg,  D.E.  (1989)  "Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization,
     and Machine Learning",Addison-Wesley. [GOLD89]:  (Probably  the  most
     widely referenced book in the field!)

     Davis,  L. (ed) (1991) "Handbook of Genetic Algorithms", Van Nostrand
     Reinhold, New York, NY. [DAVIS91]:

     Michalewicz,  Z.  (1992)  Genetic  algorithms  +  Data  Structures  =
     Evolution  Programs",  Springer-Verlag,  New  York,  NY. Also second,
     extended edition (1994) with index.
