Bringing together the unique perspectives of some of the top pianists and pedagogues, along with physicians specializing in the treatment and rehabilitation of performance-related injuries, this text is truly unparalleled. The collection covers such topics as developing an advanced technique, myofasical pain and its treatment, benefits of fitness, performance anxiety, a child's first lessons, mechanics of the piano, and musicality. The best of the twentieth-century thinking on the subject, including references to the works of Matthay, Schultz, Ortmann, Whiteside, and others, is also organized and presented in accessible manner.

It was almost painful reading; exploit approach after exploit approach, but I mean that in a good way like the pain you feel in your muscles after exercise.
I was excited when this book came out, I have been following some of the author's Thermos and Takanen work and I think they were the perfect team for this book.
I feel that Chapter 3 and 4, threats and attacks and VoIP vulnerabilities are by far the strongest chapters and they alone are worth the purchase price of the book.
The majority of the rest of the book is focused on mitigating controls and it is solid writing, solid research, but not quite at the level of the pen test side of the book.
