From the reviews:
"I am left with just one question: why should readers pick this manual as opposed to others'... One answer is timing: Due to this book's newness, its lists of websites and the like for additional information will prove highly reliable... Second, the fact that it was written by several people, each one an expert in the area he or she discusses... Yet the ultimate answer... rests with the book's conciseness, its coverage of so much advice on so many (related) subjects..." IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS, March 2006
