bamboo florring and concrete subfloor

I'm really attracted to bamboo flooring for my dining room/kitchen
area. Can it be successfully laid over a concrete floor? I hear
conflicting advice. One said that it must be glued to the floor, but
there's no guarantee that it won't move. A search of message boards
suggests that it's probably ok. Grateful for any advice!
Thanks
Wooden flooring is generally glued to some sort of cushion and the cushion
is glued to the subfloor. If the wood is glued directly to concrete,
something's gotta give as the humidity changes. I've heard a wooden floor
may expand as much as 1/2" inch as the humidity goes from 30% to 60%.
