Fifteen Books, Five Months Late

I'd like to start this lengthy set of reviews by apologizing to the authors and editors who've been waiting so patiently for me to tell the world about their work. Buying a house, getting married, selling a house, and taking on a new batch of graduate students is an explanation, but it's not an excuse.

I'd also like to apologize for the fact that these reviews aren't as detailed as they ought to be. The distractions listed above are part of the reason; the real cause is that academic life doesn't leave me time for programming, so I'm not able or qualified to delve into technical detail the way I used to. I miss it a lot, and worry that in another couple of years, I will be too out of touch to be able to guide my students. (And that a couple of years after that, I'll have to wear a tie to work...)
