Algorithms in Java, Parts 1-4
By blending theory and practice, this book appeals equally to both the academic and professional markets. For the first time, Sedgewick's seminal work on algorithms and data structures is available with implementations in Java. The author has developed new Java code that both expresses the methods in a concise and direct manner, and also provides programmers with the pract

Highly recommended for anyone with interest in algorithms. While not quite as good as Sedgewick's original work with implementations in C++ this is recommended the ones most familiar with Java
Not bad, if you need to quickly review for a silicon valley interview. The 2nd volume (Part 5) on Graph algorithms is more interesting.
