Fantastic introduction to practical data modeling

I'm really happy with this book. We have needed a practical text on data modeling for some time. The other works have been largely academic. In this book the authors use real world examples to work through the material,

Graphics are used extensively through the book. But that makes sense for the topic. The graphics are a combination of UML and relational diagrams. The tone of the text is jocular and down to earth.

This is an ideal walkthrough for engineers who have some experience using databases but now want to understand how to design databases well.
