5.0 out of 5 stars A book everyone should get!

This is an excellent book that made research easier to digest. It provides a lot of examples and honestly, it is even better than the ones recommended by my lecturers.

Don't let the name mislead you. He may not be a big huge name but credits to his ability to write and express the terms well.

Definitely a good buy.
