Fifteen years of effort, as claimed by the author, is vividly seen here. The book is a witness to the wisdom and experience of a senior professional in terms of the elaborate coverage of the crucial concepts and the lucidity of exposition. The author has made a commendable effort to cover both the conventional and the modern terminologies. This well-formatted, neatly edited, thoroughly spell-checked, and nicely printed voluminous book proves the author's dedication and commitment. The work has all the qualities of being a student companion. It also serves as an essential reference book for every librarian. 收起
