University of Illinois Press, (Sep 1, 1998)
Abstract
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. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone
through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary
work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of
Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting
of a classic.
