Title: Great, unique, modern - but also advanced
Product review: This is certainly one of the best textbooks on information theory. I would put it in line with the ones by Gallager and Cover/Thomas. It gives a fresh and modern perspective on information theory and prepares the reader very well for the new hot topics. It is well written, provides lots of examples, all good and interesting. The topics covered in this book span from the very basics to almost state of the art. Thus - and this is the only point I can criticize - some of the material may not be suited for a first course in information theory, rather than for a second course. To sum up, I can really recommend this book to anyone studying this topic.
