Voice & Data Communications Handbook, Fifth Edition (McGraw-Hill Communication Series)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent "foundations" book!

By G. Tairov - March 23, 2007

This book covers wide variety of topics with such educated and organized fashion that the only thing I can say is: "I wish I had books like that when I was in school! " The book does have a "college" feel to it... Each chapter ends with the list of questions, to help you better understand and learn the subject discussed and do it the with maximum effect.

As authors state, "... if you are looking for techno-babble as designed by propeller heads, there are many other books on the market." and "If you want to learn the basics without having a degree in engineering... you came to right place."

The book is definitely not intended to be read from cover to cover. Personally, I obtained the book for the subjects of VoIP, IP Telephony, DSL and SIP - and I am not disappointed! This is a well written and structured book. Other chapters cover: OSI model, regulation in the industry, modulation and multiplexing, wireless communications, catv, and much more... read more

only purchase if required

By Rockstar's dad - September 26, 2011

I was required to purchase this for a class. That being said, I was surprised that an actual college professor would put this book in front of students. It takes an approach of over simplifying things and tries to compare technological concepts to ridiculous things. The author goes off on tangents that do not add to the reader's grasp of key concepts. If the author can't stay focused, how can the reader?

I would not recommend this book if you are not required to purchase it.

A Basic Phone Service Guide

By Kenneth B. Paton "Cougarclaws" - May 21, 2013

This book worked well for the class I took. I actually ended up using the Web for a reference more than the book. I found it a bit confusing for my style of learning. It goes from extremely basic to mid-level. The questions offered in the book are not answered easily by simply using the book itself which was frustrating. Also, I found a few inaccuracies, or at least conflicting information when referencing the Web. Since the Web concurred on several well known sites, I am concerned the book was the issue.
