Information Science in Theory and Practice

This book is an attempt to present and discuss a scientific understanding of the process of information transfer.

This is the central principle that ist examined throughout this volume with theoretical and practical implications. Third revised and enlarged edition, XIV,400 Seiten, gebunden (K. G.
