 Excellent "foundations" book!Mar 23, 2007
By G. Tairov
This book covers wide variety of topics with such educated and organized fashion that the only thing I can say is: "I wish I had books like that when I was in school! " The book does have a "college" feel to it... Each chapter ends with the list of questions, to help you better understand and learn the subject discussed and do it the with maximum effect.
As authors state, "... if you are looking for techno-babble as designed by propeller heads, there are many other books on the market." and "If you want to learn the basics without having a degree in engineering... you came to right place."
The book is definitely not intended to be read from cover to cover. Personally, I obtained the book for the subjects of VoIP, IP Telephony, DSL and SIP - and I am not disappointed! This is a well written and structured book. Other chapters cover: OSI model, regulation in the industry, modulation and multiplexing, wireless communications, catv, and much more!
I would re-arrange some chapters, but this is my personal opinion which does not take away the value of the book.
All in all, this 600+ pages - 19 chapter treasure has found a well deserved place on my bookshelf!

By William
The book arrived on time and in great condition. Just the way any customer would want and expect. So, I was very happy with the experience.
 only purchase if requiredSep 26, 2011
By Rockstar's dad
I was required to purchase this for a class. That being said, I was surprised that an actual college professor would put this book in front of students. It takes an approach of over simplifying things and tries to compare technological concepts to ridiculous things. The author goes off on tangents that do not add to the reader's grasp of key concepts. If the author can't stay focused, how can the reader?
I would not recommend this book if you are not required to purchase it.
