Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-06 00:00:00 Ryan Overbeek To my knowledge at the time writing this review, this is the most recent book on Volterra series for nonlinear modeling. The introduction into Volterra series is rather short and a look into Schetzen 1980 is highly encouraged, maybe even necessary to completely grasp the topic. The focus of the book lies on polynomial filters and therefore discrete Volterra series. It provides lots of insight into identification and design of those filters as well as visual examples along the way. Examples are mainly picked from image processing with some audio processing examples. After each chapter (excluding chapter 1 and 11) there are some exercises included. For people studying on their own it has to be added, that no solution is provided in this book. The book includes an exhaustive list of references to further details and non-covered aspects. I took a lot from the book, and I really like the more practical orientated approach as well as the more modern style of the book.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-21 00:00:00 Nicholas Kosin In this book you learn how important it is to speak language rather than mumble it. For example, if I said to you: "Hum ma num ma mum pa lo ma oh," you would take me for a lunatic. If I said: "Hello there, my name is Greg. My role in this narrative is vital," you would understand me. Of course, you can't translate spoken language, you need to write it down and then translate it, so this title is silly and misleading. Apart from these criticisms, I believe this might be the most important academic text since Lydia Barthes's On the Importance of Crushing Harold's Balls in a Vice.
