Customer Review: I am a graduate student in the life sciences and am new to information theory and multiple hypotheses and this book was really clear, "easy" to read and just plain made a lot of sense.

Customer Review: I received the "The Myth of the Paperless Office" book within a few days of ordering it. It was in perfect condition just as it was stated on the promo.
Customer Review: This 1990 Dover publication of the original 1965 edition serves as a great introduction to "the statistical communication theory", otherwise known as Information Theory, a subject which concerns the theoretical underpinnings of a broad class of communication devices. The exposition here is based on... more info
