I finally found the time to read Richard Jones' new book and have posted my review on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2UYL7W7WG10K0/ "This book gives a thorough and detailed review of modern garbage collection algorithms including the tricky subjects of parallel, concurrent and real-time collectors and yet remains comprehensible throughout. Moreover, the information contained within is presented as a fascinating narrative littered with interesting observations and insightful remarks, making this book a real gem. Anyone developing software built upon a garbage collector would do well to brush up on the theory that underlies this core subject and there is no better way than to read this excellent book!" -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com
