Rating:
Not detailed enough- lacks implementation coverage 
It is ok for a very high level overview hence the 1 star but falls flat for major details on the individual HA features. I agree with one other poster that this book attempts to cover all major HA features in Oracle in one small book. Instead my advice is to get The Oracle 9i RAC book from Rampant Press, Oracle Streams book and Oracle Data Guard book all from Rampant Press and read the Oracle concepts manuals for these HA features.
Good book for intermediate DBA's 
One of the drawbacks of this book is the fact that too much has been packed into one single book and it seems to loose its focus and lacks in detail. It is one of the few good books available in the market which covers RAC, DataGuard and Flashback features all in one.
Overall, I still recommend this to my students who undergo my RAC and DG courses.

Just overview of Oracle HA technology 
eg, I wanted to setup the Dataguard through EM10g Grid Control. The writers like to subsitute the Oracle manual in OTN but make no difference . In fact , the creation standby database wizard was filled of bugs and user can't make use of it till patching and huge manual works. It's no doubt that writers never tried on this features. The book is rather splotchy and winding.
