Broadcast Data Systems (1990) looks at the broadcasting technology of data transmission over TV and radio channels – commonly known as teletext and RDS. It describes the development of the technology, together with the data signal format and coding methods used, the networking of teletext data signals and regional services requirements, and the transmission of the data itself.

The Concise Encyclopedia of American Radio is an essential single-volume reference guide to this vital and evolving medium. Comprised of more than 300 entries spanning the invention of radio to the Internet, this refernce work addresses personalities, music genres, regulations, technology, programming and stations, the "golden age" of radio and other topics relating to radio broadcasting throughout its history. The entries are updated throughout and the volume includes nine new entries on topics ranging from podcasting to the decline of radio.

This report discusses automotive telematics from a technical perspective, with reference to the business model and to the value for the user.
