Not a good place to start
Presents non-standard techniques without pointing out the standard ones. The non-standard techniques were recommended strongly based only on author's personal opinions, without comparison to other standard techniques on broad spectrum.

For starters, it is much better to look into "An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms" by Melanie Michell.

Great
In my opinion to well understand a process/method you have to follow an example in every little detail. This book does exactly this and once read allows to write your own code easily. I highly recommend this book!

Quick Introduction to Genetic Algorithm
This is a very simple introductory book to read on genetic algorithm. It provides a good overview of the main mechanisms involved. There is no theoretical treatment of the subject. The Pesudcodes provided in the appendixes have some mistakes. I recommend it for people who want quick general outline of what genetic algorithms means and how to apply it.
