Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewCompared to Harry Newton, Alexander Graham Bell knew nothing about phones. A decade before telecom got “hot,” Newton was writing about it and showing buyers how to get the most for their money. Since then, telecom’s been ice cold, warm, and everything in between. But Harry’s still here, sharing what he’s learning, via Newton’s Telecom Dictionary.
His new 21st Edition offers up 22,400 polished (and occasionally hilarious) definitions: from traditional telecom to wireless, VoIP, even RFID. Want to know about WiMax? Fixed-mobile convergence? “Slamming”? Whatever: It’s here.
If you’re a network, telecom, or computer engineer, marketer, PR type, salesperson, or customer, you need this book. You’ll justify the purchase on Harry’s 963 pages of definitions. But check this out: 15 small-print pages of dollar-saving tips, covering everything from telecom to stock picking. Something in here will save you a bundle.

An essential resource.From The Critics
Now in a completely updated, revised and expanded seventeenth edition, the Newton's Telecom Dictionary continues to be an invaluable dictionary of terms, words, and concepts relevant to telecommunications, networking and the Internet. One particular virtue of this immensely useful reference is Harry Newton's introduction "Where The Telecom, Networking, Fiber, Internet, Web Explosion Is Taking Us". No professional, academic, or community library computer or Internet reference collection can be considered up-to-date without the inclusion of this latest edition of Newton's Telecom Dictionary as a core title.Book Details
