A technical guide to the future
In light of the circumstances following 9-11, this book sheds light on the technological direction that biometrics will provide in identifying the populous.

While these thoughts may send thoughts of "Orwell" in the minds of many readers, the benefits to be gained by utilizing biometric technology will clearly eliminate a substantial amount of fraud and identity theft within our society,

While this book is technocal in nature, it is written in a non-technocal format and focuses much of the attention on the application aspect of the technology. This is a great read for the businessman seeking new venues to employ technical advances into the business process.

A good practical guide
This book is a very good practical guide for all those wishing to actually implement biometric systems. It cuts right through to the practical issues and doesn't get lost in unnecessary technical detail. The example project section is especially valuable and gives a great deal of useful and practical information which is not available in purely academic works. For anyone actually designing or using biometric systems, this book is worth its weight in gold

Good for Managers, no for developers
This is only an introductory book in biometrics. It doesn't explains neither algorithms nor techniques, only shows some facts of biometrics. I don't recommend this book.
