Total of 69 chapters wirtten by different people. Look like a technical paper by each expert. Re-read it recently (i mean flipping thru pages), all are history, and you can give them a skip. I bought it when I was working in some telco-VOD project, but hack, only use this book to extract some area for technical presentation purpose. All the info and details are available in the Web. It is about 3-inch thick, cost me S$85/. I am throwing it for paper-recycle today.
