The author published two books almost at the same time, one is "Electronic Communications Systems: Fundamentals through Advanced", and the other one is this book. I did not realize that this book is a subset of the former one (from Chapter 12 to Chapter 20) until I bought one. So if you are interested in electronic communications, you don't have to buy this book. Go ahead to purchase the former one.

There seems to be some communication error involved with Amazon's printed title and edition number and the actual title and edition number illustrated. I have purchased the book pictured and can tell you that the book is in fact entitled "Electronic Communications Systems Fundamentals Through Advanced, 5th Edition". It contains chapters 1 - 26 covering everything from electronic communications and modulation to SMA, microwave, cellular, fiber optics and data networking. If you previously owned the 4th edition I can tell you that some material has been added and some of the chapters have been rearranged. This is a great book for beginners and advanced comm students.

Please note that the book pictured does not have the word "Advanced" in the title. I thought that I was simply getting a newer version of the book pictured (the 5th edition is pictured), but in fact, it's a different book by the same author. I've just written Amazon Customer Service, but I thought I'd warn anyone smart enough to check these reviews :-) So word to the wise: be careful of what you buy.
