Reviews for The Telecommunications Illustrated Dictionary

About the First Edition: Whichever other communications dictionary you have, you can make room for this one. In fact, it is so distinctive as to make comparison with other glossaries very difficult. The strongest emphasis in this work is the historical background, giving information on a great deal of early development, as well as quick biographies of pioneers in the area...written at the right level, and with the right scope, for the home market...Professionals will most certainly find it fascinating reading, with a great many historical points and canned biographies. --Robert M. Slade, Internet Review Project
