SHANNON, Claude E. "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits." In: Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers , Volume 57, 1938. 2 o. Original blue-green cloth. AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE ORIGIN OF THE MODERN COMPUTER INDUSTRY. In this paper, Shannon showed how to express Boolean logic through electrical circuits. -- SHANNON. "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", in: The Bell System Technical Journal , Vol. 27, Nos. 3 & 4, pp. 379-423. New York, 1948. 8 o. Bound together with Nos. 1-2 of Vol. 27. Later blue cloth. --SHANNON, Claude E. and Warren WEAVER. The Mathematical Theory of Communication . Urbana: University of Illinois, 1949. 8 o. Original burgundy cloth (spine slightly faded, very light wear to extremities). FIRST EDITION in book form of Shannon's expanded version of his theory (now confidently entitled "The ... " rather than "A Mathematical Theory"), with an additional chapter by Weaver entitled "Recent Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Communication". In this chapter, Weaver put Shannon's work in laymen's terms and set it in a more general scientific context, including an explication of its deep links with the concept of entropy.
