From the reviews:
"The focus of the book, the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT), is an algorithm … used in data compression and pattern matching. … A major strength of the book is the clear writing style and the easy-to-follow flow. … On one hand, a student or faculty will discover theoretical topics related to information theory and pattern recognition. On the other, computational scientists will be attracted to the many applications of the BWT transform. All in all, it is a worthwhile lecture." (Stefan Robila, ACM Computing Reviews, November, 2008)
“This book exposes the reader to many applications of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform … . This book invites the reader to explore a new topic. … I can recommend this text to a wide variety of readers. This book is well suited for a researcher … who seeks to understand the Burrows-Wheeler Transform and its many applications to existing framework of algorithms. … This would be a wonderful course textbook since its coverage is comprehensive … . Many computer scientists can gain from reading this book.” (Shoshana Neuburger, SIGACT News, Vol. 41 (1), 2010)Authors and Affiliations
