From the reviews: "This book nicely complements the existing literature on information and coding theory by concentrating on arbitrary nonstationary and/or nonergodic sources and channels with arbitrarily large alphabets. Even with such generality the authors have managed to successfully reach a highly unconventional but very fertile exposition rendering new insights into many problems." -- MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

Even with such generality the authors have managed to successfully reach a highly unconventional but very fertile exposition rendering new insights into many problems." "This book proposes a generalization of information theory in the sense of Shannon to a situation with sources and channels being possibly nonstationary and/or nonergodic. ... This book presents useful and important concepts in information theory arising from original ideas of the author ... ." (A.
