Based on a thorough analysis of information processes in nature, technology, and society, as well as on the main directions in information theory, this theory synthesizes existing directions into a unified system. The book explains how this theory opens new kinds of possibilities for information technology, information sciences, computer science, knowledge engineering, psychology, linguistics, social sciences, and education. The book also gives a broad 410 0$aWorld Scientific series in information studies ;$vv. 1. 606 $aInformation theory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInformation theory. 676 $a003/.54 700 $aBurgin$b Mark$0965065 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456107903321 996 $aTheory of information$92189505 997 $aUNINA
