The usage of data communications and computer networks are ever in- creasing. It is one of the few technological areas which brings benefits to most of the countries and the peoples of the world. Without it many industries could not exist. It is the objective of this book to discuss data communications in a readable form that students and professionals all over the world can understand. As much as possible the text uses dia- grams to illustrate key points. Most currently available data communications books take their view- point from either a computer scientists top-down approach or from an electronic engineers bottom-up approach. This book takes a practical ap- proach and supports it with a theoretical background to create a textbook which can be used by electronic engineers, computer engineers, computer scientists and industry professionals. It discusses most of the current and future key data communications technologies, including: - Data Communications Standards and Models; - Local Area Networks (Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI); - Transmission Control ProtocollInternet Protocol (TCPIIP); - High-level Data Link Control (HDLC); - X.25 Packet-switching; - Asynchronous Communications (RS-232) and Modems; - Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM); - Integrated Digital Services Network (ISDN); - Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM); - Error Control; - X-Windows. The chapters are ordered in a possible structure for the presentation of the material and have not been sectioned into data communications areas.

Applied data communications and networks
*Time wants a Skeleton. Clever Time Travel mystery, fun enough; I might look for more by Ross Rocklynne.
*The Weapons Shop. Inspirational. I feel as if it must have been influential as I recognize some of the ideas. Makes me want to find more by Van Vogt, though I confess the name seems familiar to me in a negative way already. I'll check for sure, though.
*Nerves. Better as this novelette; wish that I hadn't tried to read del Rey's novelization prev.
*Killdozer! I doubt it was Sturgeon's intent, but the story works as an argument for a bit of management and bureaucracy... one reason that this team falls apart is because there's no higher up taking charge, no procedure, etc. Also the racism, though supposedly from the perspective of the characters rather from that of the author, is gratuitous and ugly.
*No Woman Born. Worth the whole book. A rebuttal to the Frankenstein story, and so much more. Beautifully written. Also, fairly widely avl.; I'm sure I've read it a couple of times before... I recommend you find it for yourself (try ISFDB.com).
*The Big and the Little. From 'Foundation' and just as lame on this read as it was the first time. Sorry, but even though the idea of a psychohistory is cool, Asimov is just so wrong it reads more like a parody than anything worth reading.
*Giant Killer. Moving and provocative, with an ending that I did not manage to figure out. In the hands of a better writer than A. Bertram Chandler it would be a more famous classic. Character named Weena.
*E for Effort. Interesting concept but I'm not sure the author was writing the story that he meant to when he started. Maybe there was too much editorial intrusion, given the era in which it was written and the ending.
*With Folded Hands. Another that is famous, and has been expanded to a pair of novels. Do read the story. Don't bother with the books. Btw, main character named Underhill, which is a fun coincidence as I just finished FotR.
Overall, two stars for this collection from the 40s because that means "it was ok."
