The Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude E Shannon
Shannon's major precept, that all communication is essentially digital, is now so commonplace among the modern digitalia that many wonder why Shannon needed to state such an obvious axiom
"A beautiful example of a theory that unifies hitherto separate branches of physical science, and DrWeaver makes important suggestions as to how this unity may be extended to include semantics and pragmatics."--Philosophical Review
"Readers who are interested in language, communication, meaning, and related problems will find this monograph rewarding."--Quarterly Review of Biology
"This book cannot be ignored by anyone with direct professional concern with these applications and many applied physicists without this concern should, like the reviewer, find the book absorbing."--S. Whitehead, British Journal of Applied Physics
