In these changing times things are getting a bit confusing with thousands of acronyms and buzz words. This book was written for software professionals coming into telecommunications but it is supremely useful to anyone in the industry already. Clive Tomlinson does a very good job of explaining the acronyms, listing all the alternatives for any given technology in a very readable manner. Workers in the Telecommunications industry tend to specialise in one area, but they hear their colleagues talking about other specialities, and usually wish to know more about areas of expertise on the periphery of their own. This book fulfills that need. After reading it you will appreciate what your colleagues on the other side of the office are talking about, and you yourself will gain self respect and be able to converse more intelligently (and get a better job, of course!). When choosing a book on telecommunications it is very important to select one which a)has recently been published, and b) is written by someone who is bang up to date with accurate knowledge. Every three years the technology undergoes a complete quantum leap upgrade, and you have to keep abreast to keep employed. Telecommunications By Clive Tomlinson answers the questions you have always been afraid to ask for fear of looking stupid. It is very easily read with easy to understand diagrams and the main points of each section are highlighted at the side of the page. I thoroughly recommend it.
