Product Description
The main dish is especially important in meal planning.It is the hub around which the rest of the meal is built, and often it carries a large proportion of the cost of the meal.Usually the main dish is the main source of protein - so essential to building and repairing body tissues.

In this book are recipes and suggestions for about 150 main dishes – easy to make, hearty, and economical.Each gives four liberal servings.

Besides tasting good and satisfying the appetite, these main dishes in general furnish about a sixth of the day’s needs for protein.He remainder of the protein will come from milk used as a beverage, from cereals and bread, and from other foods eaten as part of the dinner and at the other meals of the day. ...

Product Description
Incepted half a century ago, information theory is aclassical yet modern field which is more vibrant than ever before. Inparticular, there have been a number of major research results on thefoundation of the theory during the last ten years. These resultsenable information theory to be understood and explored in a way whichhas not been possible before, and they open new dimensions in thetheory. In short, the depth of information theory is far beyond whatwe used to know.

This book is an integration of the most fundamental topics ininformation theory plus a few selected advanced topics. All conceptsand technicalities are explained with clarity. Except for a fewclassical results, all the results included here are not foundelsewhere in book form. These include the theory of I-Measure,Shannon-type and non-Shannon-type information inequalities, andnetwork coding theory. Some important implications of informationtheory in probability theory and group theory are also explained inthis book.

ITIP, the software package that comes with the book, is the onlysoftware package of its kind which can prove all Shannon-typeinformation inequalities. It is an essential tool for all informationtheorists.

This book is suitable for use as a textbook, or as a reference bookwith any other textbook in a course on information theory. It is alsoan essential reference for researchers working in areas related tothis subject matter. ... Read more

Rigorous/wonderfully well written information theory text
Rigorous, insightful and well written treatment of traditional information theory and the latest advancements.

As an engineering executive and technologist working in the wireless broadband and communication/networking industries, I can not recommend enough of this wonderful text to researchers and practitioners.

Great, unique, modern - but also advanced
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.

An advanced book on Information Theory
This book provides the most important results on Information Theory, and it is up to date. It provides to the reader the necessary background and the important notions about this subject. It is well organized, although in some parts it can be a bit hard to understand some of the proofs.
I recommend this book, specially for advanced readers.

From insight to cutting edge research in information theory!
This book really motivates me to learn information theory and to discover the insight given by the subject.I had no or very little background on information theory before I took Professor Yeung's course.Now I am deeply interested in the subject (Of course, you do not need to take the course in order to fall in love with the book).The book may not be a no brainer, but its clear explanations of the concepts and mind-opening analytical examples easily led me not only to understand the subject very well, but also to realize the close relationship between math and information.That's the greatest part of the book.Later chapters in the book introduce many cutting edge research results in the subject which gives me a lot of ideas for research directions.If you are serious about learning information theory, this is the book you will love.Cover and Thomas book "Elements of Information Theory" is also good, but it is a bit less insightful (i.e., it is really a "text-book" :)), and the explanations of concepts are a bit on the shallow side.I suggest to use it as a reference to Yeung's book. ...
