Following a brief introduction and overview, early chapters cover the basic algebraic relationships of entropy, relative entropy and mutual information, AEP, entropy rates of stochastics processes and data compression, duality of data compression and the growth rate of wealth. Later chapters explore Kolmogorov complexity, channel capacity, differential entropy, the capacity of the fundamental Gaussian channel, the relationship between information theory and statistics, rate distortion and network information theories. The final two chapters examine the stock market and inequalities in information theory. In many cases the authors actually describe the properties of the solutions before the presented problems.

Asymptotic and exaustive
One of the problems in the literature is that "Information Theory" is not well defined. It started off meaning that which Shannon accomplished in Communication Theory, then had evolved into what this book defines as IT. The problem that I have with this is that the theory still relies on asymptotic arguments. We do not do asymptotic experiments. Also, while it mentions Maximum Entropy methods, they are out of date. This method has evolved to the point where it is now fused with Bayesian theory (Giffin 07, arxiv.org). All of that said, this is an invaluable book. It is the most comprehensive work that I know of regarding the asymptotic view of IT.
