This is a very good book on DSP area. I can say, this is the best one I read on DSP books so far. First, The basic concepts and priciples are clearly explained. Second, the book contains comprehensive contents. Besides traditional DSP contents such as linear system, classic analog filter and digital filters (IIR, FIR), DFT, FFT and multiratesignal processing, it covers many modern DSP processing techniques such as parametric models of random processes, linear prediction, adaptive filter, classic and modern spectral estimation, speech processing, etc. Finally, the book gives many examples and computer source codes for implementation of some important DSP techniques such as AR and linear prediction, IIR and FIR filters, etc. It makes reader to master both DSP theorectic knowledges and some pratical processing ability.

Okay, what does that mean? There are the classics - Oppenheimer, Antoniou (all math, little code). At the other end of the scale is this book. I still need it 2-5 times a year. Middle ground is the Embree book - combo of theory and code. I find stuff in this book (and code), which is not covered anywhere. DSP folks - add this to your collection. It cost me $100 bucks at the time I bought it. For $25 - you are getting a steal.
