A nontechnical guide to telecommunications education. Jargon free and very pragmatic in approach, it succeeds in being both very detailed and highly readable. More than just a general description of the field, this work is a guide through the process of successful program implementation. Chapters help the reader to plan the transition to telecommunications-based education, to make choices of systems and technology, to select staff, to ensure funding and fiscal stability, to market the program, and to integrate telecommunications into the host organization. A successful telecommunications education program requires technical knowledge, the educational knowledge to design relevant offerings, and the political and administrative savvy to forge a program within academic organizations. Together the authors have the experience necessary to deal with these aspects and they share it very effectively. The result is a well-written text that also serves as a very good handbook and a first order sourcebook. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates and up and general readers. G. H.
