With over 30,000 copies sold in previous editions, this fourth edition
of TCP/IP Clearly Explained stands out more than ever. You still get a
practical, thorough exploration of TCP/IP networking, presented in plain
language, that will benefit newcomers and veterans alike. The coverage
has been updated, however, to reflect new and continuing technological
changes, including the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), the
Blocks architecture for application protocols, and the Transport Layer
Security Protocol (TLS).
The improvements go far beyond the
updated material: they also include an all-new approach that examines
the TCP/IP protocol stack from the top down, beginning with the
applications you may already understand and only then moving deeper to
the protocols that make these applications possible. You also get a
helpful overview of the "life" of an Internet packet, covering all its
movements from inception to final disposition.
If you're looking
for nothing more than information on the protocols comprising TCP/IP
networking, there are plenty of books to choose from. If you want to
understand TCP/IP networking-why the protocols do what they do, how they
allow applications to be extended, and how changes in the environment
necessitate changes to the protocols-there's only the one you hold in
your hands.
* Explains-clearly and holistically, but without oversimplification-the core protocols that make the global Internet possible.
* Fully updated to cover emerging technologies that are critical to the present and future of the Internet.
*
Takes a top-down approach that begins with the familiar application
layer, then proceeds to the protocols underlying it, devoting attention
to each layer's specifics.
* Divided into organized,
easy-to-follow sections on the concepts and fundamentals of networking,
Internet applications, transport protocols, the Internet layer and
infrastructure, and practical internetworking.

In response to the expansion of knowledge in biochemistry and molecular biology, the Second Edition of this reference has been completely revised and updated, with approximately 16,000 new entries. Names of specific compounds and other substances have been substantially enlarged, and definitions have been expanded for clarity and precision. Information is drawn from over 500 books and 1,000 articles, including recommendations of the Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and the International Union of Biochemistry. Terms used by biochemists from a broad range of sciences, such as chemistry, immunology, genetics, virology, biophysics, and microbiology, are included. Abbreviations, both standard and nonstandard, are also provided, as well as cross-referenced synonymous expressions.
