This is a nice introductory textbook for the practice-oriented reader. The math treatment is quite light, but sufficient to provide a good feeling about the underlying theory...people needing a more math-oriented treatment can go to Grochenig.

For the people who needs to learn and practice about JTFA, this book will give to him or her a very detailed theory and some very good examples over this technique, which has more and more applications in the day-to-day changing world of DSP.

This text is a nice, clear introduction to the various methods for time frequency analysis for engineers. The proofs are more detailed than in some other texts, though there were some errors or typos. I liked this book better than the other one that I have, Time Frequency Analysis by Leon Cohen, which is somewhat out of date (wavelets are referred to as scale here) and also has minor errors in the proofs.

I bought this book because I needed to know the material for my work. The material and its extent are good, the only problem I am having is one that is common today. It was written by people who do not have English as their first language. What would make the book alot easier to read and less confusing is the employment of a good English speaking editor to polish the presentation of the ideas. The subject is not so simple that one can forgive arbitrariness in usage of words or phrases to explain the ideas. It is frustrating because I really need to know this material, for my job, and I do not need the extra load of trying to guess what the authors meant to say. The book is important and deserves a good editing job.
