DESCRIPTION:
Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory in the Bell System Technical Journal more than fifty years ago. It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.

Where it all began.---The book grew out from an epic scientific paper in 19A first! Palle E T Jorgensen Where it all began.---The book grew out from an epic scientific paper in 1948, but luckly its author Shannon chose a light touch and a gentle delivery in his presentation. The paper became a book, with a 1949 first edition, which is now a classic, and which has been reprinted a number of times since, ending with the present lovely 1998 edition. It is still the place where readers can learn the essentials, including the two equations of information theory, that are now named after Claude Shannon.. 8, but luckly its author Shannon chose a light touch and a gentle delivery in his presentation.

Weaver makes important suggestions as to how this unity may be extended to include semantics and pragmatics."--Philosophical Review"This book cannot be ignored by anyone with direct professional concern with these applications and many applied physicists without this concern should, like the reviewer, find the book absorbing."--S. "A beautiful example of a theory that unifies hitherto separate branches of physical science, and Dr. Whitehead, British Journal of Applied Physics"Readers who are interested in language, communication, meaning, and related problems will find this monograph rewarding."--Quarterly Review of Biology
