Reader Reviews
This is one of the worst books I have ever seen - effectively a PhD thesis poorly converted into a over priced book that is full of technical, grammatical and typographical errors. For example, the following paragraph is from page 56 of the book: "McDonalds began a trial program in New York City that offers an hour of free 'Intel-verified' WLAN access for a 60-mintue [sic] session for a nominal fee." I have no idea how something like this could get past the editors, let alone the spell checker. Being a PhD candidate I can identify the technical errors, however someone who is not up to speed would easily mistake them as fact. Most of the diagrams are very ordinary - certainly not of a quality that matches the price tag. About the only thing going for this book is the fact that it provides a broad summary of the area and has a large bibliography, which in turn provides references to more accurate and useful material. If you need a book on this topic I'd suggest checking out Zhili Sun's "Satellite Networking : Principles and Protocols".
