Reviews

"The book is clearly written. There is an overview to each chapter. Subheadings are widely used to make it easy to find specific topics and there is a good index. The text is illustrated with diagrams, flowcharts and graphs. The last of these is appropriate to the current topic which is data rich." (Reference Reviews 2016)
