From the reviews of the second edition:
"This handbook provides an excellent guide in every aspect of the discovery process. . Contributors are drawn from noted academic institutions and companies around the world and across diverse disciplines. . serves to define the current state of the art in knowledge discovery, and is particularly useful in cross-fertilization among a diverse set of application scenarios. It is an indispensable reference for researchers and an excellent starting point for advanced students taking graduate courses in this area. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (J. Y. Cheung, Choice, Vol. 48 (10), June, 2011)
"This edition treats new aspects (for instance, privacy) and new methods, like those based on swarm intelligence and multi-label classification. . The book is a comprehensive and detailed reference. . Each chapter contains a long list of references for further investigation. . I recommend this comprehensive book to advanced readers--including designers and architects at software companies--interested in the R&D of data mining." (K. Balogh, ACM Computing Reviews, November, 2011)
