 An Awful Introduction
I'm an electrical engineer and in the Telecomm buisness. I've read a lot of books on communications and this has to be one of the worst, luckily I didn't pay for it. The writing is poor and it doesn't commuicate ideas clearly. There is better books out there on the exact same subject.
 Light reading
There are many telecom books around that try cover as much as topics as possible, this one is no different. brMain advantage of Ray Horak's book is it simplicity, it is very easy to read and understand and organization of the overall text is also quite good. Book also covers fairly large portion of today's telecom world, although, due to the sheer size of the subject, it is lacking in details.brI'd recommend this book for junior (very junior) students or for new-commers in the field.brOn the other hand, european engineers should try to avoid this book due its US-centrism. Author mostly ignores European systems or provides very shallow and short reference.pTo finalize, good book, but don't ecpect it to make you an expert in the field.
 Communications Systems and Networks
A wonderful and essential book for all telecom engineers. It is a great work that should have scored my 5 but for the paper quality.
 Communications Systems and Networks
Review of Communications Systems and Networks by Ray HorakpDuring the mid 1970's in our Voc Tech High School Data Processing class we were taught that all our information either acquired or given must be Pertinent, Accurate, and Understandable. Or PAU.brCurrently a Cisco Networking Student I have many questions about communications systems. This book is more than a PAU resource. With clear explanations and illustrations .From UTP to STP to Coax to Fiber to the Wireless! From LAN's to WAN's to Multi-Media to the WWW. All explained and tied together. Chapter 12 has a section dedicated to the Misuse Content of the WWW. Also Internet Oddities,Screwball Applications, and Some Really Good Ideas. Each well worth the few minutes it takes to read. Last but not least is the Accronyms, Abbreveations Symbols Appendix because everyone remembers what VSLEP,JBOD,MEO,and WMBTOTCITBWTNTALI stand for right? brThank You Ray for balancing the tech language with the human !!!pCommunications Systems Networks gets my 5 star PAU rating!
Excellent Resource
Communications Systems and Networks by Ray Horak is and excellent resource for anyone in the communication industry, whether experienced or not. pI advise every new person in my group to purchase it and keep it close at hand.pIt has been helpful on many occasions when I needed to help an upper level manager understand a technical issue.
