From the reviews: Computer Communications "Although the concept of ISDN has been with us now for over a decade, and much development work has been carried out du- ring this period, there are very few comprehensive books available on the subject. This is perhaps one of the best of them.The book aims to provide engineers and potential engi- neers with an overview of the requirements and features of ISDN that will be useful in thedesign, construction and operation of such systems. The author and his six collabora- tors have succeeded in this respect, producing a readable, yet thorough, technical book that can be recommended to a wider audience... Throughout the book the explanations are enhanced byclear, well-presented, relevant diagrams, and there is a very use- ful annex on the full set of standards relating to ISDN. This is a good book that will definitely be used as a refe- rence over the next few years by many engineers working in the area..." IEEE Computer "ISDN is a slimbut very effective book dealing with almost every aspect of the evolution ofpublic communications net- works...I highly recommend this book to engineerswho are new either to the field of ISDN or to specific ISDN topics. It is clear, concise, and is excellent padding for those tackling the CCITT recommendations."

Standardwerk zu ISDN, in dieser Auflage erweitert um Konzepte und Systeme des international standardisierten Breitband-ISDN. Die geschlossene Darstellung der Managementfunktionen im ISDN und die Behandlung der Mobilkommunikation in Verbindung mit ISDN bringen das Buch auf den neuesten Stand.

The theme of my book is about a 347 year old elder vampire that comes in contact with a brood which consists of young inexperienced of his kind. Whereas they're naive to the most basic function of their undead bodies. In the training of them, he has to rewrite the rule book, because it's a learning process for all involved.

In order for a large and complex country to thrive over time there must be a consensus about the rules by which it is governed. An elite, whether political or economic, that does not propagate and live by a clear set of rules for behavior for all citizens soon becomes corrupt and self defeating in its purpose. It is stuck in an attempt to force harmony among citizens who observe that some are more equal than others. The Christian model for citizenship has been successfully applied across many cultures, even though never perfectly. The Christian citizen, while subject to the laws of his country and his culture, is first of all subject to the law of Heaven as found in the Scriptures. This has been summed up by Jesus as "Love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself." Applied in the West and enshrined into laws this led to the rise of capitalism and democracy which gave people a sense of value, purpose, and the protection of the state applied with a degree of justice. The rise of China as a major figure on the world stage in the 21st Century means that China must operate under a Constitution that applies to all parties in the social contract. The future stability of the country is at stake. Christianity can do for China what it has done in the past for the West. Christian citizens can provide the vision for a just and harmonious society.
