If you are going to work in a technical arena, read up on your jobs guys. My crew could come in and take over in the bat of an eye, and do a much better job of it.

Agreed with the other rating. Decent book and a lot to offer, but really doesn’t teach GSM. More of a dictionary than applicable text in the field and explaining framework.

I tend to rate 3 to 5 stars as I don’t bother with books that aren’t acceptable to the subject. 3 stars means it is a good book, but there are better treatments of the subject matter or contains structural problems in the text. 4 stars means the book is great and I use it regularly in projects/research. 5 stars is reserved for top 10-20% on a given shelf that abstracted a particularly difficult idea in an easy to understand manner (i.e. it blew my mind) or I have a hard time completing my work without it.
