The author has created a first-rate introduction to telecommunications. The book provides a solid foundation in and understanding of communications networks. It begins with a review of the history of networking, followed by a discussion of the principles for designing communications networks. The remaining chapters deal successively with each of the networking layers in the standard OSI architecture. The presentation is interesting, readable, and easily followed. The organization of the text is somewhat unusual in that the concepts of network design precede the definition of the OSI layers. This seems a little odd until one realizes that the purpose of this text is to serve as an introductory offering only. The organization and presentation of the material are perfectly reasonable within that context. In summary, this book should serve as a valuable introductory reference for programmers who need to learn more about communications technology and for students pursuing the subject of communications for the first time.
