Amazon.com Review
A decade in the making, this book is based on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with each of the twenty-four moon voyagers, as well as those who contributed their brain power, training and teamwork on Earth. In his preface Chaikin writes, "We touched the face of another world and became a people without limits."

What follows are thrilling accounts of such remarkable experiences as the rush of a liftoff, the heart-stopping touchdown on the moon, the final hurdle of re-entry, competition for a seat on a moon flight, the tragic spacecraft fire, and the search for clues to the origin of the solar system on the slopes of lunar mountains.

"I've been there. Chaikin took me back."--Gene Cernan, Apollo 17 astronaut

From Publishers Weekly
Scheduled to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the first lunar landing on July 20, 1969, this chronicle offers a comprehensive, often penetrating look at NASA's Apollo program. Originating in 1961, when President John Kennedy told Congress that the U.S. should attempt to land a man on the moon "before this decade is out," the program's last mission ended in December, 1972, with the splashdown of Apollo 17. Diary-like reports mix with first- and third-person accounts as Chaikin, an editor at Sky & Telescope magazine, delivers a chronological view of the missions and those who planned and flew them. Focusing closely on the Apollo astronauts, including Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad and Neil Armstrong, Chaikin gives his topic a sense of immediacy. But his treatment, lengthy as it is, reads more like an extended magazine article. Missing is a view of Apollo in a wider context, one that captures the mythos of our efforts to land on the moon. 40,000 first printing.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal
Science writer Chaikin spent eight years interviewing dozens of NASA flight controllers, engineers, technicians, and especially all 23 surviving astronauts who flew missions to the moon during the Apollo program. Fleshed out with never-before-published conversations taken from declassified on-board voice recorders, his book provides a vivid account of the first era of manned lunar exploration. Published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the first landing, Chaikin's insightful telling refreshes the oft-repeated stories of these pioneering flights with new details, anecdotes, and reflections that convey what the experience was like for the astronauts. He also shows that, paradoxically for one of the most intensively reported stories of its time, how little we really understood what happened on that July night in 1969. Reminiscent of Charles Murray and Catherine Bly Cox's superb Apollo: The Race to the Moon (LJ 6/15/89), this is a highly recommended purchase for both public and academic libraries.

Without a doubt, THE book to read about the Apollo program!
By Chuck Johnson
I was 2 years old when Neil Armstrong placed the first boot print on the lunar surface, and after watching Apollo 13, I became curious as to what exactly it was that got us to the moon in the first place. In 6 months time I read "Lost Moon" by Jim Lovell, "Last Man on the Moon" by Gene Cernan, "The Race", "Schirra's Space" and "Deke!".
A Man on The Moon was the last book I read, and I can speak from firsthand experience when I say that if I would have read it up first, I would have had no need to read the others. That is NOT to say that all of the other books are not good, quality reads (with maybe the exception being Schirra's book), because they certainly are, but Andy Chaikin left absolutely nothing to the imagination and almost no stone unturned when he penned this exciting and informative book.
Even though I was just a toddler when our exploration of the lunar surface began, thanks to Andy Chaikin, I don't feel that I missed a single thing.

The One Book To Read If You Only Want To Read One
By R. F. Mojica
I've read a fair number of books on the glory days of NASA's manned space program, from Mercury through Gemini and Apollo, and though this book focuses mostly on the moon landing missions (as should be obvious from the title), when asked which single volume is best for the general, non-technical reader to get a comprehensive, readable history of the space program, I'd recommend this one. The author chose to tell the story AS a story, from the viewpoint of the astronauts involved. People want to read about people, not about machines; they want to get the human side of the story, and that's what this book sets out to tell and it succeeds. At the same time the author presents enough of the more technical aspects of the story in a simple enough fashion for the non-technical reader to get a decent grounding in these aspects.

Like most books written about the Apollo program, even those written by the astronauts and the engineers and technicians and program managers, the book ends on the sad note that the manned exploration of deep space was abandoned at the end of Apollo, almost 40 years ago, and that except for the occasional grandiose plan that never got past the stage of blueprints, there has never been serious consideration of a return to manned exploration of space outside the orbit of Earth.

I was eight years old at the time of Apollo 11, and my memory of the space program goes back only to Apollo 7. I remember, as a kid, being completely riveted by the moon missions, watching every second I could of them on TV, even as the general population lost interest in them, sending away to NASA for their PR kits on each mission (you'd get neat color photos of the crew, stickers of the mission patches, press bulletins, etc.) and clipping and saving moon stories from the newspapers, while speculating with like-minded friends on the future of space exploration (I remember that we couldn't wait until 1981, when we were supposed to be landing on Mars!), only to see our enthusiasm fizzle as NASA was steered into the endless boondoggle of the Shuttle program.

I've since come to regretfully realize that the Moon landing was something of a dead end. This was proven by the unmanned deep space probes of the late 70s and the 80s, when we sent Voyager-2 out scouting the outer planets of the solar system, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and their satellites, and confirmed that there wasn't a single other world in our solar system that made a viable destination for a manned space mission. The distances were too great to be reached by any existing technology--even to reach Jupiter would force astronauts to live in a space ship for over 4 years and the space ship itself to carry food, air and other consumables for that same length of time--a complete impossibility even now, decades after the successful moon landings. Then, if the aim is to find another world that could be inhabited and colonized by humans, we'd have to search outside the solar system, in which case, again because of distances, such worlds, if they exist, and if we could find them, could not be reached in the lifetime of any human being, which meant that those astronauts would have to be sent out with no expectation that they would return alive, that they'd have to breed in space and that their offspring would live their entire lives in their space ships, breed again, for generations, for, possibly, thousands of years, in the forlorn hope that we could find such a planet. To even reach another solar system might take the same span of time that, on Earth, stretches from the building of the pyramids to the present day, and even then there's no way of knowing that a habitable planet would exist in that solar system.

No, after the moon, there's no place left to go. We could land on Mars, I guess, but there is no chance of that happening in the lifetime of anyone now living because the will to spend the enormous amount of money it would take to do it does not exist anywhere on the Earth. We could also return to the moon, but even in 1972 people were so bored with moon landings that they'd complain when re-runs of "I Love Lucy" were pre-empted for telecasts from Apollo. The question is, even with these limited missions, who is going to pay for them? Even the scientific community is split, many (it seems to me most) scientist believing that unmanned robot probes are more worthwhile than manned missions. If even scientists doubt the value of humans in space, how can we expect the average citizen to support "Man in Space"?

We have to finally admit that Apollo was the result of a specific set of political circumstances that can never be repeated or recreated. We went to the moon because we wanted to beat the Russians. That is all it was about. All the science and technology that came from the moon program were collateral benefits. We had to beat the Russians. I'm not scoffing at this as a goal. It was important. It was the single most important victory of the cold war. We succeeded in reaching the moon. The Russians tried and failed. They knew how difficult this was, and, if you read the reminiscences of the Russian scientists and technicians and military managers, their respect for American "know how" and ingenuity grew because of our success, to the point that when Reagan announced the so-called "Star Wars" program in the 80s, while the wise guys in the West scoffed at Reagan, the Russians believed we could succeed. Why? Because we managed to land on the moon! In their attempts to keep up with us in our developing Star Wars program, they bankrupted the Soviet Union. The success of Apollo and the prestige this success lent to US science, technology and industry was one of the main factors in the collapse of the USSR.

The irony is that while during the Moon missions, pundits spoke of how "500 years from now, everything else about our civilization will be forgotten, but the one thing we'll be remembered for is landing on the Moon", now, only 40 years later, many people don't believe we did. They think it was a hoax! Sometimes we hear the suggestion that we should go back to the moon just to prove we were actually there once before, to prove it to the hoax theorists, but who's going to spend that kind of money to convince a cult of knuckle-dragging imbeciles whose noisy opinions are of little importance to anyone living in the world of reality? No, let's accept Apollo for what it was--a successful bid for international political prestige during a period of conflict which, because of the existence of thermonuclear weapons, couldn't be settled by war. It was a program established to fulfill national goals that no longer exist. And a return to lunar exploration, or a manned mission to Mars, will never take place until it is once again a matter of equal importance to the survival of a political system involved in a deadly rivalry, a struggle for survival, against an implacably hostile political enemy. It's hard to imagine such a circumstance arising today, but it may in the future.

The quintessential history on project Apollo
By dj
One cannot overstate the importance of Andrew Chaikin's book on the Apollo program. Many years in the making, Chaikin took the time to track down and interview nearly all of the 24 astronauts who flew to the moon during project Apollo (I believe the only person he missed was Jack Swiegert, Apollo 13's command module pilot, who passed away in 1982 before writing this book). On top of the astronauts themselves, Chaikin spent time interviewing individuals who didn't fly these missions, but who were equally important to its success.

The book is largely written chronologically, beginning with the tragedy of Apollo 1. Background information on projects Mercury and Gemini aren't required to enjoy this book, and when required, Chaikin does a marvelous job of bringing forward events prior to Apollo to move the book along smoothly. Each manned mission is covered in about as much detail as possible, with the exceptions of maybe Apollo 7 (which never went to the moon, but was a test of the command/service modules in earth orbit), or Apollo 9 (an earth orbit test of the CSM and lunar modules). References are drawn to these two missions where necessary, but they do not receive the in-depth treatment each of the others receives. What stood out to me, which I never knew before reading this book, was the number of mechanical difficulties encountered along the way, and how many times the mission commander would be ready to abort before a solution was reached. Chaikin aptly illustrates the sheer resolve, intelligence, and fast thinking of the crew and ground crews during each mission when things went awry. So the book presents the reader with actual life or death cliffhangers or obstacles to a successful mission, and it makes for excellent reading.

I was also impressed with Chaikin's ability to explain how things in space, in orbit, in a rocket engine, in a volcano, or on the moon (ad infinitum) actually WORK. He doesn't overwhelm the reader with technical jargon (there are other books for that), and he illustrates difficult concepts with archetypes that most readers can relate to. One example comes to mind in how he described Buzz Aldrin's doctoral dissertation on orbital rendezvous techniques, and how this allowed Buzz to discuss "counter-intuitive maneuvers" to the other astronauts. Chaikin is a master of explaining things so anyone can understand.

Another strength of this book is shown in Chaikin's ability to glean the thoughts and feelings of the astronauts and to write those down both accurately and intimately. With each turn of the page, I felt I knew the astronauts like one of their peers. I could feel Frank Borman's intense aversion to take risks the first time circling the moon, Armstrong's technical expertise and grace under pressure in looking for an adequate landing spot, Pete Conrad's virtual "kid in a candy store" excitement en route to the moon, Jim Lovell's dismay when his mission was lost, Al Shepard's tears of joy as he stepped off the LM, Dave Scott's excitement in commanding the first J-mission, John Young's remorse at snapping the ALSEP power cable, Jack Schmitt's struggles to be the first scientist to fly to the moon (and Joe Engle's resentment as a result), and Gene Cernan's prophetic final words as the last moonwalker (for the time being). In a word, Chaikin takes you along for each mission, and you will feel as if you are right there working alongside the astronauts.

This book was much better than I ever expected. I found myself racing home from work each day to read it, and despite its massive size (over 500 pages), it felt like a quick, engaging read. Chaikin has done a wonderful service to the history of NASA and the Apollo missions. If I had to choose an authoritative, quintessential text on lunar exploration, this is book is where it all starts, and where it all ends.

"My students always find this a fascinating introduction to the institution of slavery in the U.S. It spurs much discussion."--Nemata Blyden, University of Texas, Dallas


"Excellent."--Katherine Barber Fromm, Iowa State University


"An excellent and thorough study. The most useful volume available as a college text giving a 'black perspective' on the slave experience."--Robert F. Engs, University of Pennsylvania


"It is doubly welcome, both for its intrinsic worth in describing slavery as it must have been for those inside and for its meaning and scholarship....A book all American historians could read with profit."--The Journal of American History

A DEFINITIVE BOOK
By james b. kinchen, jr.
this is one of the couple of dozen books ever written on african american history and the african american experience that has to be considered definitive. should be read by anyone seeking a more in-depth and nuanced understanding of chattel slavery and how it worked on a day-to-day basis as well as at a more overarching level. this research does an outstanding job of connecting enslaved africans and their american-born descendents to the culture, rituals, customs, and traditions of the motherland.

Not so easy read - But understandable
By Carlos Jesus Cruz
I needed this book for my African American History Final Essay... It was very interesting, engaging and easy to read in the most part (take this from an ESL student). Great Book. I still have it and skim through it from time to time to remember how lucky I am for living in this time period... Very sad IMO

A Very Nice Wrestling 101 Book
By Theseus
Ok! First, this book is NOT about professional wrestling. And it is not about Mixed Martial Arts. It is about Wrestling, the classic (and Olympic) sport.

Obviously, this is a beginner's book on the topic. The language is simple and straightforward. This book was created for everybody but seems to be particularly designed for kids who love wrestling (or who want to love the sport of wrestling), parents or guardians of these kids, or anybody who has gone to a wrestling meet and wants to figure out what is going on.

Probably the clearest sections of the book were those that provide you with the rules of wrestling and what goes in the ring. Wrestling's somewhat complicated scoring system is explained with great clarity. Since wrestling is pretty fast, the book does a superb job of explaining the wrestling moves such as take-downs, reversals, escapes, and, of course, pins with excellent step-by-step illustrations.

If you are looking for basic information about equipment such as shoes and headgear, you'll find that in here too.

Finally, the book also addresses the mental aspects of the sport. And let's face it, walking onto the mat to do combat with someone who is about your size is probably as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. This book addresses things such as how to psyche yourself up to face a superb opponent and what sorts of training wrestlers engage in to get their heads ready for the rigors of competition.

An excellent basic guide to wrestling for anyone who is into this great sport.
By Joseph J. Truncale
First off, do not be fooled by the title. This book is not for dummies. As someone who has been involved in the martial arts(wrestling, boxing, karate, judo, jujitsu, combatives etc) for more than fifty years, beginning with wrestling at a Chicago Park district, I found this book very interesting and highly informative.

This 360 volume is filled with valuable information on the sport of wrestling. The text is organized into five detailed chapters. Part one explains what the sport of wrestling is all about. The second part covers the importance of developing a solid foundation for wrestling. The third part details the various wrestling moves you need to learn become good at this sport. The fourth chapter is about the coaches and parents who support you in wrestling and the final section breaks down the top ten tips for success in wrestling.

There are numerous photographs showing the basic moves of wrestling; however, like any type of physical combat sport, you cannot learn wrestling from just reading this book. You must seek out a wrestling coach and club to actually become proficient at this sport.

In conclusion, this is a fantastic book when used in conjunction with actual training with a wrestling coach.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art Myths)

Very good
By Loren W. Christensen
As a long-time martial arts instructor I got this book to fill in any gaps I have on the sport of wrestling. It satisfied that nicely, plus I was able to pick up a few techniques, as well.

The text is well-written with loads of solid information on the sport: history, rules, training regimens, potential dangers, conditioning tips, and the intricacies of certain techniques.

Wrestling for Dummies is not a manual of techniques. For that you will have to look elsewhere. But it is an excellent source of information on the sport that will be of interest to wrestlers and those who watch from the bleachers.

Loren W. Christensen, author of Fighter's Fact Book and many others.

In Egypt, no one can be trusted, not even his family. Saladin is surrounded by enemies and haunted by a secret that threatens to destroy him. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Saladin's closest friend, the former crusader John of Tatewic, has been branded traitor. Spared execution on condition that he serves King Amalric, he soon finds himself embroiled in court intrigue. Dark forces within Jerusalem conspire to seize the throne. As John confronts them, his loyalty to Amalric, and to his old friend Saladin, is put to the test.

DO NOT BUY THE KINDLE VERSION OF THIS BOOK
By Arietta Drimaropoulou
This is a great book.
This though, is a rating for the kindle version which is awful.
The book is a historical novel with several locations, battles and strategical army moves in the middle east.
This casts the use of the three maps at the begging of the book ESSENTIAL, (unless of course you are a frank crusader or an Arab Mameluke of the 12th century).

The book has been converted into the kindle version in a sloppy and unprofessional manner. The maps are scanned in low resolution which makes then UNREADABLE both in standard view and zoom.
Buy the paper version, or try an e-book version checking that the maps are readable.
Stay away from this kindle version.

"Content reports" reporting the matter directly from the menus of the kindle device, have not been noted or answered.
Very bad impression from kindle, kindle support, and -this particular- kindle book.

By A.L.Keeley
An excellent novel with rip-roaring action and lots of passion and love to boot. Can't wait for the next book in the series. Up there with Bernard Cornwell, Michael Arnold , S.J. Parris and C.J. Sansom. A Gripping Read !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We refuse to see the threat while China presses ahead...
By Chuck DeVore
"The China Threat" is another in a series of books attempting to get Americans to look past their expectations for financial gain from trade with China -- to confront the reality of China's empty promises on missile proliferation, to understand their hostile intentions towards America, and to realize Beijing's utter lack of interest in democratic reform and human rights.

In the 1970s through the fall of the Berlin Wall, China and America enjoyed a marriage of convenience as they confronted the Soviet threat. Sadly, American foreign policy vis a vis China did not adjust to the end of the Cold War -- and Beijing naturally took advantage of this.

Gertz carefully chronicles how China has managed to buy or steal our most critical national security secrets. He documents how China views missile and nuclear proliferation as a way to threaten the United States (the enemy of my enemy is my friend). He sets out some sobering scenarios for Chinese aggression in Asia -- and even in our own backyard.

No one should doubt the seriousness of the China threat after reading this book. Clearly China will present as great a threat to our safety and freedom as did Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

how can you not be supicious
By J. Palmer
just like developers buy up surrounding land to put the squeeze on those they want out of the way, China has virtually surrounded us, sucked our manufacturing and foundries away. With a flick of the switch they can put a serious hurt on the US, and then see the gas prices soar. Certain administrations have allowed CHina to now control our economy. If you dont think so you are in serious denial. Even Dole shifted there pineapple growing to China.

Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing, Volume II: Detection Theory, by Steven M. Kay

The most comprehensive overview of signal detection available.

This is a thorough, up-to-date introduction to optimizing detection algorithms for implementation on digital computers. It focuses extensively on real-world signal processing applications, including state-of-the-art speech and communications technology as well as traditional sonar/radar systems.

Start with a quick review of the fundamental issues associated with mathematical detection, as well as the most important probability density functions and their properties. Next, review Gaussian, Chi-Squared, F, Rayleigh, and Rician PDFs, quadratic forms of Gaussian random variables, asymptotic Gaussian PDFs, and Monte Carlo Performance Evaluations.

Three chapters introduce the basics of detection based on simple hypothesis testing, including the Neyman-Pearson Theorem, handling irrelevant data, Bayes Risk, multiple hypothesis testing, and both deterministic and random signals.

The author then presents exceptionally detailed coverage of composite hypothesis testing to accommodate unknown signal and noise parameters. These chapters will be especially useful for those building detectors that must work with real, physical data. Other topics covered include:

  • Detection in nonGaussian noise, including nonGaussian noise characteristics, known deterministic signals, and deterministic signals with unknown parameters
  • Detection of model changes, including maneuver detection and time-varying PSD detection
  • Complex extensions, vector generalization, and array processing

The book makes extensive use of MATLAB, and program listings are included wherever appropriate. Designed for practicing electrical engineers, researchers, and advanced students, it is an ideal complement to Steven M. Kay's Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing, Vol. 1: Estimation Theory (Prentice Hall PTR, 1993, ISBN: 0-13-345711-7).

From the Inside Flap
Preface

This text is the second volume of a series of books addressing statistical signal processing. The first volume, Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing: Estimation Theory, was published in 1993 by Prentice-Hall, Inc. Henceforth, it will be referred to as Kay-I 1993.

This second volume, entitled Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing: Detection Theory, is the application of statistical hypothesis testing to the detection of signals in noise. The series has been written to provide the reader with a broad introduction to the theory and application of statistical signal processing. Hypothesis testing is a subject that is standard fare in the many books available dealing with statistics.

These books range from the highly theoretical expositions written by statisticians to the more practical treatments contributed by the many users of applied statistics.

This text is an attempt to strike a balance between these two extremes. The particular audience we have in mind is the community involved in the design and implementation of signal processing algorithms. As such, the primary focus is on obtaining optimal detection algorithms that may be implemented on a digital computer. The data sets are therefore assumed to be samples of a continuous-time waveform or a sequence of data points. The choice of topics reflects what we believe to be the important approaches to obtaining an optimal detector and analyzing its performance.

As a consequence, some of the deeper theoretical issues have been omitted with references given instead. It is the author's opinion that the best way to assimilate the material on detection theory is by exposure to and working with good examples. Consequently, there are numerous examples that illustrate the theory and others that apply the theory to actual detection problems of current interest.

We have made extensive use of the MATLAB scientific programming language (Version 4.2b) Footnote: MATLAB is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc. for all computer-generated results. In some cases, actual MATLAB programs have been listed where a program was deemed to be of sufficient utility to the reader.

Additionally, an abundance of homework problems has been included. They range from simple applications of the theory to extensions of the basic concepts. A solutions manual is available from the author. To aid the reader, summary sections have been provided at the beginning of each chapter. Also, an overview of all the principal detection approaches and the rationale for choosing a particular method can be found in Chapter 11.

Detection based on simple hypothesis testing is described in Chapters 3--5, while that based on composite hypothesis testing (to accomodate unknown parameters) is the subject of Chapters 6--9.

Other chapters address detection in nonGaussian noise (Chapter 10), detection of model changes (Chapter 12), and extensions for complex/vector data useful in array processing (Chapter 13). This book is an outgrowth of a one-semester graduate level course on detection theory given at the University of Rhode Island. It includes somewhat more material than can actually be covered in one semester. We typically cover most of Chapters 1--10, leaving the subjects of model change detection and complex data/vector data extensions to the student. It is also possible to combine the subjects of estimation and detection into a single semester course by a judicious choice of material from Volumes I and II.

The necessary background that has been assumed is an exposure to the basic theory of digital signal processing, probability and random processes, and linear and matrix algebra. This book can also be used for self-study and so should be useful to the practicing engineer as well as the student.

The author would like to acknowledge the contributions of the many people who over the years have provided stimulating discussions of research problems, opportunities to apply the results of that research, and support for conducting research.

Thanks are due to my colleagues L. Jackson, R. Kumaresan, L. Pakula, and P. Swaszek of the University of Rhode Island, and L. Scharf of the University of Colorado.

Exposure to practical problems, leading to new research directions, has been provided by H. Woodsum of Sonetech, Bedford, New Hampshire, and by D. Mook and S. Lang of Sanders, a Lockheed-Martin Co., Nashua, New Hampshire.

The opportunity to apply detection theory to sonar and the research support of J. Kelly of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, J. Salisbury, formerly of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, and D. Sheldon of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport, Rhode Island are also greatly appreciated.

Thanks are due to J. Sjogren of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, whose support has allowed the author to investigate the field of statistical signal processing. A debt of gratitude is owed to all my current and former graduate students. They have contributed to the final manuscript through many hours of pedagogical and research discussions as well as by their specific comments and questions. In particular, P. Djuriƕ{c} of the State University of New York proofread much of the manuscript, and S. Talwalkar of Motorola, Plantation, Florida proofread parts of the manuscript and helped with the finer points of MATLAB.

If you want to learn detection theory get this book.
By Christopher P. Carbone
This book presents the fundamental ideas in detection theory (Hypothesis testing for you math types) in a very accessible way. It was one of the few textbooks I could read without feeling like I should be taking a class to go along with it. First the book starts off with a short chapter explaining what detection theory is. This chapter is so well written and illustrated that I've used it to explain to my friends what it is I do at work. This type of very good introduction is repeated at the start of each chapter. But I would have to say the strength of the book is in the examples. All the main ideas are demonstrated by examples that have been worked out in detail. There are several of these worked out examples per chapter and they range form simple, to the kinds of problems you may face in real life. I keep this book on my desk at work, and on more than on occasion I looked liked a genius by using this book and it's examples to solve a problem in minuets that looked like it would take hours (or days).

Great, but a tad lacking
By A Customer
I am an undergraduate senior using this book for a graduate-level Detection & Estimation Theory course. This is an excellent book and is very easy to follow, unlike Poor's which is too mathematical and hard too read. However, this book does make many references to Vol. 1, the Estimation Theory, so you almost have to get both books to get a full understanding. Also, some of the problems are not always workable based on the theory given. Overall, though, I do recommend this book.

The best textbook in Estimation Theory
By Marco Antonio Pulido
Steven Kay has done a superb job. His coverage of different aspects of estimation theory make this book an excellent reference for the working engineer, as well as a great college textbook. All the topics are well covered, there are meaningful examples that apply the theory to different aspects of signal processing, and the problem sets are very useful. Also, the addition of small appendixes to the end of some chapters is very unique. They usually contain additional material to clarify a method presented in the chapter or discuss some mathematical result. A book that can balance theory with practical applications is not easy to find, especially in a difficult area like statistical signal processing. This is the ultimate guide to estimation theory and its applications.
