Part of the value of a book like this is to get relevant, well-focused pointers into the larger literature. Some chapters have "resources" sections; some "resources" sections have bibliographies. There is no consistent pattern to the coverage. Finally, and most damaging, many resources are simply missing: "Hartigan, 1975" is all you'll get to find out more about variations of k-means clustering.



I hope the publisher will rectify this by providing adequate bibliographical materials on their website or in later editions.
