From the Back Cover

Compression means making things smaller by applying pressure. Text compression is not about physically squashing text, but about finding ways to represent t in fewer bits or bytes. It is necessary that the coded form can be decompressed to reconstitute the original text ( otherwise, compression is trivial!), and it is usually important that the original is recreated exactly, not approximately.

Synopsis

Explains language-independent "universal" compression methods from the conceptual to the implementation level, including details of algorithms and comprehensive performance comparisons. This book is intended for courses in communication algorithms or data communications.
