Philipp Lenssen covered a new book named Google's PageRank and Beyond : The Science of Search Engine Rankings by Amy N. Langville and Carl D. Meyer from Princeton University Press. Reportedly, the book is incredibly mathematical, scientific and technical.

Jon Kleinberg of Cornell University (some of may you may know the name) gave the following review;

Comprehensive and engagingly written. This book should become an important resource for many audiences: applied mathematicians, search industry professionals, and anyone who wants to learn more about how search engines work.
