More theoretical/academic than practical

Having not seen too many textbooks on this topic I'm not sure if it's considered very well-written. The explanations are mostly easy to follow but examples seem more theoretical/ academic than real world/practical. For someone out of college and working in the real world, it's not as practical and easily accessible as other popular titles on the shelves thesedays.
