The book in question is Oracle8i Administration and Management, a very complete book that was rivaling the first edition of Tom Kyte's expert 1-on-1. While Tom's book is stronger on the practical side, and shows the tricks like setting event with set_ev reading them with read_ev, Mike's book was more bent on the internals and was the only book that I know that was discussing things like V$DBWR_WRITE_LOG, a view that was gone in 9i. Mike's book was an ideal book for someone making a transition from Oracle7 to Oracle8i, which is precisely what I was at the time I bought it. Mike also has a very good book about the 10g new features, which is more complete then Robert Freeman's. Of course, I don't speak for Mike, and I'm not employed by him. In fact, I've never met him in person.
