Editorial Reviews

An excellent and contemporary survey of the genre.
Mark Owen, Kingston College, UK

Clear, concise, well illustrated and appropriate for an introduction to the subject.
Andrew Hepburn, Northwest Regional College, UK

I think it will fill in the gaps in my students' knowledge. It is good to see a general book that is not software specific.
