This book covers a comprehensive array of topics on data, which is an important notion nowadays for both academia and practitioners. It is impressive to see how the authors can balance the contents of database management from a combined perspective of classics and mainstreams, in a forward-looking fashion. The emphasis on big and small data is of great value in addressing various issues of data-centric business, where size, accessibility, analytics and governance matter differently in different contexts. I very much enjoy reading this book because of not only its high quality but also its connection with the colleagues at KU Leuven.

I am teaching the "Advanced Databases" module at the University of Salford-Manchester to our MSc Data Science students. I have been teaching Databases for last 20 years and I have found this book to be well structured and well written. I believe the materials presented in the book and particularly for NoSQL, Big Data and Analytics provide a practical base to cross the rather complex concepts to our students with plenty of good examples. I am using this book as a reference material this semester and have advised my students to obtain a copy as it is an amazing reference book to have. Highly recommend.
