So good book: Pattern Classification

It was so good that I'd like to read and study it intensively. This book had some main features as following:
1. It was clearly elucidating the classical and new approaches, including neural network, stochastic method, genetic algorithm and machine learning theory.
2. There were so many colorized charts using for showing some obscure concepts. I guessed the beautiful pictures were generated by Matlab.
3. There were necessary mathematical foundations knowledge in appendix.

Some exciting feature was that there were some comparison with some schemes in certain application areas. Yeah, this was perfect.

Now I liked it very much.
