On top of that it is very well written and about as easy to understand as anything this fundamental and important can ...
If you want to understand the underlying math and logic behind compute and communication there is no way around this seminal work.

Good book for the price!
This is a very general overview of communications theory that is not specific to either electronics nor to human communications, but more to describing information transfer concepts and metrics.

If you want to learn about entropy in terms of information theory then this is *THE* book
This is the seminal work that may be said to include the basic concepts, definitions and theorems of information and communication theory.

The foundations of Information Theory
This book doesn't need any presentation: it is well known by all the scientific community as the \"start point\" of Information Theory.

The one and only
Typically, a paper which defines a new field of science is not the best introduction to new researchers in the field.
