Great book for everything Telecom. Covers past, current and future technologies. If you are a tech nut like me, buy this book and read it cover to cover.

I really enjoyed this book, especially the anecdotes in the introduction, but I can't realy see alot of applications for a "crash-course" that is this long. There are many situations I can envision where someone would need to learn about telecom networks quickly, but they probably wouldn't need to know many of the intricacies that Shepard deals with and they almost certainly wouldn't be interested in his anecdotes and discussion of undersea cable laying.
However, I don't know of any other comprehensive book like this so it may be your only option. Either way I certainly enjoyed reading it and intend to buy his other books, but to read at my leisure.

Very well written and entertaining introduction to telecommunications. The author gives a great overview of how all of the parts fit together and why the standards were evolved and the problems that they solved. Interesting historical tidbits thrown in here and there. This is a good book for those who are new to the industry or if you want to get the big picture of how everything fits together. This is the best introduction to telecommunications text that I've read. Afterwards, you would go on to read/research the details about specific standards.
