Warning: Humbug Alert.

Please tell me what is self-tuning about being able to dynamically resize bits of the SGA with SQL commands you have to type in yourself?? From your table of contents, it would appear that you believe a self-tuning PGA counts as a self-tuning database.

And then tell me why I should buy your book when not three months ago you were posting information that was technically inaccurate and eight years out of date, yet offering it as good advice for current databases. (Incidentally, it was technically inaccurate eight years ago, too, but I couldn't be bothered to point it out to you at the time).

The day you stop proclaiming yourself to be "one of the world's top Oracle Database experts", and actually start demonstrating it, I'll shut up. Until then, I'll just keep quietly pointing out what a fraud you are anytime you pop up here.
