Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage :"… Skiena … präsentiert … einen umfangreichen Katalog wichtiger Konzepte aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen … Jedes einzelne Verfahren stellt er als kompaktes Rezept vor und konzentriert sich dabei auf die Anwendung … Skienas Schreibstil bleibt trotz der akademisch anspruchsvollen Materie lebendig und außerdem humorvoll. Häufig bettet er Geschichten in den Text ein, die er als Software-Entwickler erlebt hat. Sie sollen den Einsatz der vorgestellten Verfahren in der Praxis veranschaulichen. Viele Übungsaufgaben und ein umfangreiches Online-Angebot für Lehrkräfte runden das positive Bild ab." (Maik Schmidt in: c't - magazin für computer technik, 2009, Issue 1, S. 196), From the reviews of the second edition: "...the book is an algorithm implementation treasure trove, and putting all of these implementations in one place was no small feat. The list of implementations, an extensive bibliography ... make the book an invaluable resource for everyone interested in the subject." (ACM Computing Reviews) "My absolute favorite for this kind of interview preparation is Steven Skiena's The Algorithm Design Manual. More than any other book it helped me understand just how astonishingly commonplace ... graph problems are -- they should be part of every working programmer's toolkit. The book also covers basic data structures and sorting algorithms, which is a nice bonus. ... every 1 - pager has a simple picture, making it easy to remember. This is a great way to learn how to identify hundreds of problem types." (Steve Yegge, Steve Yegge's Blog, March, 2008) "For a decade, Steven Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual retained its title as the best and most comprehensive practical algorithm guide to help identify and solve problems. It is now available in an improved second edition that is worth buying simply for the updates. ... Every programmer should read this book, and anyone working in the field should keep it close to hand. ... Would I recommend it? Absolutely. This is the best investment ... a programmer or aspiring programmer can make." (Harold Thimbleby, Times Higher Education, November, 2008) "Addressing the main difficulties of solving problems, this book goes far beyond the design of algorithms. It is essential for scientists, engineers, and any professionals who aim to solve problems, with a noticeable emphasis on real problems. It will not only serve as a valuable undergraduate textbook, but it will also become an irreplaceable reference guide for most professionals in the area." (Carlos Linares Lopez, Computing Reviews, February, 2009) "Skiena focuses on the practical aspects of algorithm design and use. ... this work fills an important gap in the knowledge of CS practitioners and students. ... this book is suitable as a text for an undergraduate algorithms class, but also as an invaluable reference for the practicing programmer. ... This second edition has updated the bibliography to include recent works, making it an extensive bibliography. The index is also thorough and very useful for finding specific problems." (William Fahle, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2008) "Algorithms are the very heart of computing ... . This book is about right for most people. ... Each of the topics is treated in a readable informal style with lots of asides and accounts of personal experiences - 'war stories' in implementing algorithms. ... If you want to use it as a course textbook then there are lots of exercises at the end of every chapter. Highly recommended." (Mike James, I Programmer, September, 2009) "The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena is aimed at two groups of people: students and professionals. ... It is written in an informal style that I found pleasant and engaging. ... The book's unique structure makes it more likely to be immediately useful to the practitioner who has problem to solve and wants to quickly make progress ... . the book succeeds admirably. ... would be helpful to the student who has never seen this material before. ... Overall, I recommend this book warmly." (Neelakantan Kartha, The Book Review Column, 2011), From the reviews of the second edition:"...the book is an algorithm implementation treasure trove, and putting all of these implementations in one place was no small feat.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
