Handbook of Face Recognition

If you wish to have a useless book with 16 chapters with approximately 50 references per chapter to difficult academic papers (finding these papers is another big problem), with an accompanying text that guide you through these with a lot of photos; than you can buy this one. No mathematical guidence, no backgrounds, no introductory chapters. Just filled with from heaven send formulas, and references. such a complex subject is packed with a 395 pages and named as "handbook". You can't learn anything with this one. One star for photos, and one star for the very superficial text accompanying the huge list of references.
