Review title: Wonderful resource guide, but a little out of date.
Product review: An excellent book, but written for Mathematica 6. The latest version of Mathematica is version 8, and there are some differences. For example, the way that histograms are plotted in Mathematica 8 is very different from how histograms are plotted in Mathematica 6. Mathematica 6 required frequency data for its histograms. Mathematica 8 requires raw data for its histograms. Of course most of the other commands have remained the same or at least very similar. The Mathematica Navigator is an excellent book, although I think the section on probability and statistics could be longer and more in-depth. It's a great book, and I give it four stars.
