Happy Birthday Field Guide!

It is hard to believe it's already a year since the launch of the Field Guide to GP. It has been amazing to see it spread. We have had nearly 40,000 views of this web site (see data below), almost exactly 28,000 downloads of the book and we are rapidly approaching the 500 mark with paper copies. I suspect (also judging from the referring sites) that many of these "contacts" have been with people who had never heard of GP before, possibly not even of evolutionary computation. This was one of the targets we had in mind when we decided to write this book and make it freely available. Many colleagues have actually helped us in this, by recommending the book to others, by suggesting it as a textbook for university courses, by mentioning the book in their blogs, etc. We are very grateful to them and to all the visitors of this site and readers of the book.
