Sounds like an overview. I don't think any "foundations" book is intended to be the one and only source of information. I think it's supposed to give you an idea of where you want to go next.
- sfpotter 4y agoThe problem with this is that if you need to be told where to go next you aren't going to be able to get there. If you're in the research community, you won't need to be told where to go next. You will be surrounded by people who will know, and you will pick it up by osmosis. If you don't, you won't last long. If you're outside the research community, knowing where to go next is unlikely to be of much use. If you work at a company as an engineer, it's unlikely any of the material in this book will be of much use to you.
