First sentence: In the last decade we have been witnessing a transformation-some call it a revolution-in the way we communicate, and the process is still under way.
Description: "This book provides an extensive introduction to the theory underlying today's compression techniques with detailed instruction for their application. The coverage has been significantly updated to reflect the state of the art in data compression, including both new algorithms and older methods for which new uses are being found.

And the downloadable software gives you the opportunity to see firsthand how various algorithms work, to choose and implement appropriate techniques in your own applications, and to build your own algorithms."--BOOK JACKET.
