Just Hibernate (2014)
If you’re looking for a short, sweet, and simple introduction (or reintroduction) to Hibernate, this is the book you want. Through clear real-world examples, you’ll learn Hibernate and object-relational mapping from the ground up, starting with the basics. Then you’ll dive into the framework’s moving parts to understand how they work in action. Storing Java objects in relational databases is usually a challenging and complex task for any Java developer, experienced or not.

Beginning Hibernate: For Hibernate 5 (2016)
Get started with the Hibernate 5 persistence layer and gain a clear introduction to the current standard for object-relational persistence in Java. This updated edition includes the new Hibernate 5.0 framework as well as coverage of NoSQL, MongoDB, and other related technologies, ranging from applications to big data.

Hibernate Tips (2017)
When you use Hibernate in your projects, you quickly recognize that you need to do more than just add @Entity annotations to your domain model classes. Real-world applications often require advanced mappings, complex queries, custom data types, and caching. Hibernate can do all of that. You just have to know which annotations and APIs you need to use. Hibernate Tips: More than 70 solutions to common Hibernate problems show you how to efficiently implement your persistence layer with Hibernate’s basic and advanced features.

Java Persistence with Hibernate: Revised Edition of Hibernate in Action (2006)
Persistence-the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program-is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular Java persistence tool, provides automatic and transparent object/relational mapping making it a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications. Hibernate applications are cheaper, more portable, and more resilient to change. Because it conforms to the new EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence 1.0 standard, Hibernate allows the developer to seamlessly create efficient, scalable Java EE applications.
