Newton's Telecom Dictionary contains thousands of terms and phrases, each with a capsule definition. The terms include the names of technical specifications (such as "FRF11" and "Q.931"), technical jargon ("start bit" and "Type 1 CLEC"), equipment ("smart card"), and organizations ("Bellcore"). The dictionary has all this, plus more than a few entries that raise questions. For instance, did the term "Code Blue"--a technical feature of hospital phones that lets patients signal their distress to distant nurses by knocking phone receivers from their cradles--really derive from the fact that people turn blue when unable to breathe, as the book suggests? Whether it's really true or not, anecdotes like this drive the definition home and make for fun reading. --David Wall
